These floating beasts grow to the size of galleons and spend their entire lives in flight. They come in forms ranging from eight-flippered tortoises with opalescent shells to marble stallions tall as grain silos, six-legged with eyes like burning coal and dancing manes of fire. The Leviathan and their Gifted pilots rule the Eight Skies of Ciel, transporting people, moving cargo, leading armadas... and engaging in a few more unsavory trades.Effie Strait dreams of Leviathan. Born on the Island of Volturnus in the remote Zephyr Archipelago, Effie knows little of the world beyond her local isles, but that fact hasn't throttled her ambition. When she was young, her homeland came under assault by the notorious pirate, Maug the Butcher. Effie's people were saved from enslavement by the timely intervention of the Celestial Armada, but that salvation came at a price. The Celestials remained in the archipelago, imposing a tithe in exchange for their ongoing protection and importing a strict caste system that elevates the Gifted above their mundane peers.Once a year, the Celestials come down from their palace on Aquilon Island to test the most promising young Zephyri against a pod of wild Leviathan. Those identified as potential pilots are whisked away to the Celestial homeland far across the open sky, never to be heard from again. Effie yearns to prove herself in the testing, but not every Zephyri shares her disposition. When a rebellion against the Celestials erupts on the neighboring Isle of Aeolus, the fighting draws in Zephyri from around the archipelago--including Effie's sister Vanna and her best friend Kai. With Effie's own time of testing approaching, she finds herself caught between her closest friends and family and the only power on Ciel that can make her piloting dreams a reality.

Sect War
On a world where trees are hundreds of feet tall with leaves more than a dozen feet wide, the inhabitants are dwarfed by the underlying vegetation of the immense forest floor. The forces of good and evil pair off in small-scale battles to determine the destiny of a colony, whether they live free of tyranny or succumb to the will of a brutal oppressive regime. The difficult terrain made wheeled vehicles impractical and limited designs of military craft to those that closely resemble the only creatures capable of efficiently traversing the terrain--insects. All flying craft received the default name of sects and often incorporated design features too complex for most pilots to master. The first conflict using fragile unreliable sect craft ended in a bitter stalemate. It was more a pause in the fighting while both sides labored to reconstitute. Much has changed since then with technological advancements in flying craft design and complexity. The Feroci are in the preparatory stage of carrying out the final offensive to annihilate the last remaining colony of the descendants that left the Grand Hive generations ago to seek prosperity. The Feroci have developed secret advanced crafts and a cunning strategy. Weary of war, the last colony has become complacent in limiting engagements to small scrimmages and mostly defensive operations. The colony leadership suspects the Feroci are planning a major offensive but have no idea where or when. They began dispatching scouts to find clues, but colony pilots hesitate to fly close to the Feroci homeland for fear of encountering the enemy's leading ace in a craft called the Sect Slayer. A new sect crew chief encounters the enemy ace on his first combat mission and manages to survive after the pilot is incapacitated. In the process, he discovers love, a jealous new foe that wants to ruin his career, new allies, an old friend that wants to even the odds, and a determined enemy ace that wants to exact revenge against him and lead the Feroci forces to assured victory. So begins the Sect War.
