Living on an island in the vast cloudsea, the only escape from indentured servitude is to unlock a Skill. But there’s a big difference between getting what you want, and getting what you asked for... Some people are born into a loving family. Rylan, as a baby, was sold into debt. Sick of toiling his life away on the Thistlethorn estate, Rylan tries everything he can think of to unlock his first Skill—from juggling, to sewing, to singing—until one day, he unexpectedly succeeds. However, instead of celebrating Rylan's achievement, the Thistlethorns attempt to trap him in a Spirit Contract. Seeing no other choice, Rylan flees into the cloudsea, carrying only what supplies he manages to grab on the way out and a mysterious note bearing a cryptic warning... His quest to find the sender and unravel the mystery of his birth will have to wait, however, for both friend and foe have followed him into the fog, and none of them know the way out. To make matters worse, the dense mist harbours hidden monstrosities and long-buried secrets. It’s not what they might find—but what might find them...
