SKYSWORN

In the blighted Outer Reaches, oxygen is currency, and Ahinora Pyrrin is running out of breath. As a scavenger hell-bent on keeping her family alive, she has sacrificed softness, rest, and any future not measured in survival. But when the demands of her sister's failing lungs outpace Ahinora's ability to bring in more oxygen, she realizes only the magical healers in Skyreach can save her sister's life. The problem? Humans from the Outer Reaches are forbidden from setting foot on the floating, oxygen-rich island where wind-wielding mages rule humanity from above.

There is one exception: the Skyrite, a lethal competition where champions from the Outer Reaches fight for Skyreach residency. Desperate and out of options, Ahinora rigs the lottery and forces her way in. She's determined to win the only way she knows how—trust no one, stay unseen, and use her street-rat cunning to survive even when the odds stack against her—but then she meets Rook. He is prickly, dangerous, and far too willing to protect her when he should be trying to kill her instead. Together they take on one stray after another, and as their circle of allies grows, their strategic alliance turns into something Ahinora's never allowed herself to feel before—love. Rook, however, is not who he claims to be.

The Skyrite demands increasingly brutal choices, and only one champion can enter Skyreach. Ahinora must decide what to fight for: the love she never imagined she'd find, or the sister she swore to save.

I'm excited to share more with you!
