Daren Cole is a lower-class citizen who's job is to build airships for the ruling class. Their lives never mingle as the ruling class live in luxury on floating sky cities above the dark and dangerous world Earth has become. After the dark ages, when everything that powered the world mysteriously crashed, a nomadic tribe introduced a crystal called "Sinvin", becoming man's salvation. Its magical properties reinvented the world and how things worked. This began the Elementa Age but also a future of brutal domination by those who used Sinvin. For Alicia Alcorin, life as a princess is no more and as nightmares go, that's a good thing. She's free. But for how long? Born on Exodus, a fae world her family discovered long ago, she now flees the evil that the name 'Garland' represents to the magic born and human alike. Their influence is everywhere, stretching far into the past as lords of history-making on two worlds. Finding one of the last gatebridges, a portal created by magic and technology, is just one more step on her journey to freedom. Crossing paths with Alicia, something begins to awaken in Daren, something Alicia says he must control. But also, it begins an ominous prophecy. Foretold on the eve of Dragonblood's fall, a race of humans who were sworn to protect those born of magic, the damning words tell of an all-consuming darkness to come. Far to the north, a mansion stands foreboding on a crossroads of worlds. Alicia can feel the evil flowing out over the world, menacing darkness from the far edges of the fae realms.
