These were the words Rylan Cloudgift had been waiting to hear all his life.
They were supposed to be his salvation, his escape from a mundane live as an indentured servant on an island in the vast cloudsea. His quick way out of the debt he held to the Thistlethorns—the noble family that had found him as a baby.
So why did he wake up in a cell? Why was there talk of the Thistlethorns binding him in their service through a magical 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 follow him into the fog, and none of them knows 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...
