Add to basketPaperback. He builds airships. He would rather be in a workshop than the halls of politics.But titles have a way of following you, and when the son of a provincial governor stumbles onto evidence of a hidden weapons program on a remote island, no amount of grease-stained hands or engineering blueprints can keep him out of the fire. Assassins are hunting him for reasons unknown. The evidence points to a zealot with powerful allies. A secret society with genocide dressed up as doctrine, and a doomsday weapon not seen since the cataclysm that nearly ended the world.The conspiracy runs deep. A fanatical leader who believes annihilation is purification. An eight-month countdown until a campaign of destruction rolls across every free province on the continent. And at the center of it, a facility on a storm-lashed island, manufacturing weapons that no one alive fully understands.To stop it, he will fly his airship into a thunderstorm with a crew of engineers and soldiers. At his side is a deadly companion whose mission to protect him has become far more complicated than either of them expected. What they find on that island will change everything, and not everyone will make it home.The weapons are almost ready and the man behind it all believes he is saving civilization. A covert mission to stop a campaign of annihilation. An engineer, a spy, and a crew held together by fractured trust. Eight months on the clock. Not everyone comes home. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Some secrets should have stayed buried.
He demanded the truth from the woman who had been at his side for weeks. Her answer was far worse than anything he could have imagined. Now he has more questions and complications than ever before.
He builds airships. He would rather be elbow-deep in an engine than dragged into the politics his family name demands.
But when he stumbles onto evidence of a hidden weapons program on a remote island, the assassins change tactics. Crossbow bolts become bombs. A zealot with powerful allies wants him dead. Behind the zealot: a secret society with genocide dressed up as doctrine, building ancient weapons, and an eight-month countdown to a campaign of destruction aimed at every free province on the continent.
The woman at his side is more dangerous than she lets on, and what is growing between them is clouding their judgment and fracturing the loyalties they need most.
To stop the countdown, he will fly his airship into a thunderstorm with a crew of engineers and soldiers. Not everyone will make it home.
The weapons are almost ready, built by a man who believes he is saving civilization.
Failure does not mean defeat. It means extinction.
