In a distant future, humankind’s greatest technological achievements — and the knowledge that created them — have been lost.

The rise of the first Sovereign Ott Dynasty brought with it The Truing, a movement that sought to rid the world of science and technology, returning humankind to a pre-digital, industrial state where everything is powered by fire, water, and air. What was left in the wake of The Truing was a reality where the only evidence of humankind’s former mastery of time and space was the genetically augmented Sovereign bloodlines, strange artifacts of great and inscrutable power, and unexplainable natural phenomena — echoes of a race that travelled to the stars, circumnavigated time, and controlled every aspect of their environment.

It is against this backdrop that the story of Polonius Neathergarden and Lady Penelope Genevieve Philpott Neathergarden continues to unfold.

Royalty-turned-revolutionary, Polonius and Lady Penelope steal the Airship Andalusia from the Sovereign Capitol City and escape into the Carthagian Badlands. Pursued by the ruthless Admiral Krane and his powerful sister, Lady Aleksa Krane, the Neathergardens, Thweela of The Shunned, Mekanik’s Clan fixer Pugs, Lady Katrin Killian Keeper of The Gate, Caretaker 172, Captain Farraday, and Constable Stonemaaker cross the badlands for a rendezvous with the mysterious Spirit Walker at Seven Moon Crossing on the Summer Solstice.
