Centuries have passed since the
Fey conquered Earth, forcing mankind and gods alike to flee to the sky city
Olympus. Forgotten gods walk amongst man, lost and powerless. Little do they
suspect a second Fey war looms, and an unlikely duo will set in motion the
gears of fate.
Zak Walker is a fringe rat living
in the slums who would do anything to protect his sister, Alice. His neglectful
father threatens to consign him to a life away from home on an airship, but he
yearns for his life to mean something more than drudgery.
Princess Seneca Rose is the last
surviving member of the Seelie royals. They tried to establish peace with
mankind, but fell to the forces of Queen Mob and the Unseelie Court. Fleeing
for her life, Seneca arrives on Olympus in hopes of uniting the forgotten gods
against the oncoming Fey.
Zak couldn’t care less about the
fate of Olympus, until faeries kidnap Alice. He doesn’t believe Seneca’s
stories of faeries or gods, but soon has no choice but to accept their lives
are intertwined. All his life, he’s dreamed of something more. If he cannot
face the dangers that await down on Earth, the gods, mankind, and his sister
Alice are all doomed.

EXCERPT:
I
watched helplessly as we flew further away. Alana and Gharis, fighting
furiously side by side, hadn’t noticed me getting snatched. Seneca still
struggled with Francis’s pack. I had to take matters into my own hands. I
struggled under my attacker’s iron grip. He had me in a tight bear hug
rendering my arms useless. I thrashed about until I broke free. The rust bucket
flew away, and for a moment, it felt like I could fly. Gravity had a different
plan in mind.
I’m
going to die.
Clouds
swallowed the world; the white darkness devoured me, the gushing air made my
ears pop. I’d never get to kiss Abby; I’d never become a man; Most importantly,
I failed to keep Alice safe. Alice, I’m sorry.
I
closed my eyes and prepared to die. Until I heard laughing. I’m cogged. The
wild laughter of a maniac got closer, closer, and closer still. Seneca burst
through the clouds head first, her body straightened with arms pressed tight at
her sides. Goggles covered her eyes, and her smile seemed to go for miles. She
caught up and wrapped her arms around me, locking her body against mine.
