Askaro was born aboard the Falcon, the greatest airship ever built in the Sky Realms. His mother was captured during a raid so according to the ship’s charter, Askaro is a slave who will be the property of the Slave Master when he turns sixteen. But his father and grandfather say otherwise.
The Falcon, her hold full of wealth, is finally headed for her homeport, Rockathalon, the capital of the Sky Realm, which she left 17 years ago. When treachery sets Askaro adrift in the precarious mountain stronghold, he must find a way back to his family and the Falcon. But when he stumbles onto a plot against the future king, Askaro and his newly found friends must decide if their needs outweigh the good of the kingdom.
