hearts above the sky

In a world where cities float above the clouds, powered by the ancient magic of Aetherion, Caius Vaelen, heir to a powerful noble family, is drawn to the secrets of the Skyshards—fragments of Aetherion with mysterious power. His search leads him into the underground Skyfall Bazaar, where he meets Aurelia Skylar, a skilled thief with knowledge of the dangerous magic that sustains the floating cities.
Aurelia warns Caius that Aetherion is not something to be trifled with, but when the two are forced into an unlikely alliance, they uncover a dark conspiracy that threatens the very foundation of their world. As their bond deepens, they realize that Caius’s growing power over the Skyshards links them in ways neither can fully understand.
With enemies closing in—including Caius’s own family—they must navigate a treacherous path of magic, betrayal, and trust. Together, they must decide whether to control the power of Aetherion—or risk losing everything.
