Description by Author:
Far
above the monster and mist-filled surface of Drina in the beautiful floating
city of Skytown, Fifth Ascendant Kal awakens to find himself face to face with
a mysterious spirit kid that only he can see, setting events in motion with
consequences far beyond his simple midnight raids into the Outer Wards.
Meanwhile,
three kids arrive in Skytown on a secret mission, one that can save or doom the
Heretic struggle against a mighty empire.
Airships,
monsters, and magic all collide in this visual reimagining of Joshua Grant’s
bestselling fantasy steampunk adventure series The Fifth Ascendant!
