Now that the day has finally arrived, her mother arrives with a condition: Alder is the complete opposite of everything Athel ever imagined in a house-husband. She is free-spirited and crude, while he is formal and polite.
He ruins every chance she gets to wallow in her new-found freedom, and she gives him every embarrassing chore she can think of to get back at him. The worst part of all is that they really are perfect for each other, but how can you admit to your mother that she picked a good match for you? Together they traverse the vast twelve seas of their island world. Each island is home to a unique race of people that each specialize in a different kind of magic.
The seas that separate them are wild and acidic, reaching out to snap up any who venture too close, so the world is traveled by massive airships. Wooden vessels that rely on the power of The Federal Navy to protect them from pirates, privateers, and mercenaries. When war is declared between her island and the rest of the league, Athel becomes the target of kidnappers, pirates and shape-shifting assassins. Even the crew of her own ship is tempted by the price on her head. You can even leave your own questions for the characters to answer.
Humanity did not start the War, but they have to fight it. No one decides to become a Descendant or a Drone; they must deal with the change when it happens. The conflict spans millennia until the discovery of something once thought lost and the appearance of a young woman who never had a choice … and means to change that.
