AS SEEN ON TIKTOK, CITY OF SKIES IS A HIGH FANTASY ADVENTURE DEBUT. A LYRICAL BLEND OF MAGIC, MUSIC, ACTION AND ROMANCE, IT IS SURE TO APPEAL TO ROMANTASY AND EPIC FANTASY READERS ALIKE.
"Ancient darkness shall be met with ancient Light..."
A truce betrayed. A kingdom vanished. Lovers torn.
When raiders attacked the kingdom of Ginan, their neighbour Kirantel escaped to safety with the powers of the stargems-twelve Light-blessed gemstones with supernatural powers. Five years later, Zael is still tormented over leaving Aniyah behind. Only by forsaking his crown and accepting banishment can he leave the "City of Skies" to search the world for her.
He hopes to travel unnoticed, disguised as a tavern bard.
But with imperial soldiers in every city and monsters in the wilderness, Zael must do more than forsake pacifism in order to survive-he must embrace unprecedented powers he doesn't yet understand.
Zael's unexpected reunion with Aniyah is only the beginning in a chain of world-altering events. While they face the ghosts of their pasts and rekindle lost love, a dragon-god is released from the abyss-and Zael and Aniyah are the first targets.
