I dangle my legs over the edge of the cliff, tapping my heels against
the smooth dirt that crumbles down the side of the continent. I don't
fear falling. The world below looks unreal and distant, like it's only
been painted on. Falling is something I can't even imagine.
As heir to a kingdom of floating continents, Kali has spent her life
bound by limits: by her duties as a member of the royal family, by a
forced betrothal to the son of a nobleman and by the edge of the only
world she's ever known--a small island hovering above a monster-ridden
earth, long since uninhabited by humans.
When Kali falls off the edge of her kingdom and miraculously survives,
she is shocked to discover there are still humans on the earth.
Determined to get home, Kali entrusts a rugged monster-hunter named
Griffin to guide her across a world overrun by chimera, storm dragons,
basilisks and other terrifying creatures. But the more time she spends
on earth, the more dark truths she begins to uncover about her home in
the sky, and the more resolute she is to start living for herself.
