The Collective has been shattered, but at a cost. The dread sky pirate India Bravo has taken control of Atmo city fuel supplies, threatening to let entire populations plummet to their deaths if her demands aren't met, and she wants Ras Veir. Among balancing his budding romance with Callie Tourbillon, living in his father's shadow, and leading his new crew aboard The Kingfisher, Ras must hunt down every deadly Energy Convergence to clear a path for Atmo's safe landing before it's too late. But the survivors of the world below have plans of their own, and the ghosts of The Clockwork War whisper that there is more than just Energy in the wind.

Out of the ashes of The Clockwork War, mankind rose above the clouds to begin anew with The Atmo Project, a group of twenty-one flying cities running off the overabundant resource that destroyed the world below. Nearly a century later, one-third of the cities have fallen from disrepair or sky pirate attacks. When fledgling wind merchant Ras Veir inadvertently disrupts the natural fuel source keeping his home city of Verdant aloft, he must fly his airship clear across Atmo to right his wrong. But he can't do it alone, and adventure-minded girl next door Calista Tourbillon wouldn't dream to pass up an opportunity to escape Verdant with her childhood friend, especially if it means tangling with dread sky pirates, clockwork automatons, and the remnants of the long-forgotten world beneath the clouds to retrieve a rare element on the wind from a place known only as The Wild.
