The Heart of the Sky

Where power is sacred, and the ember never dies

The Heart of the Sky

About the Book

In the floating city of Skyhold, power is sacred—literally. The city is kept aloft by the Heart of the Sky, a mystical ember whose energy has never faltered—until now. Finn Ashford, once a prodigy of the Ember Guild, was exiled for challenging that very belief. But when Skyhold's light begins to fade, the council calls him back.

Haunted by exile, family betrayal, and the weight of his forbidden research, Finn returns to a city on the brink of collapse. The ember is dying. And the truth he carries could either save Skyhold—or doom it. The Heart of the Sky is a steampunk-inspired fantasy of redemption, forgotten truths, and a civilization desperate to believe its power is eternal.
