Against the Thieving Sky

Darian Lord thinks he’s just a kid serving out a terrifying sentence in subterranean garbage tubes. What he doesn’t know is that he’s about to be told he descends from a long line of mystical dragon lords.

He doesn’t want to be anybody’s hero.

But being just a kid is no longer one of his choices: Either, become the warrior of his heritage and take up the fight against Edori’s sky-borne bots—sucking magic, color, even life from the lands.

Or refuse and try to survive its domination—no one will ever have to know.

Darian Lord doesn’t like his choices.
