A Sundered Sky

Centuries past, the surface world flourished. Eidolons—massive, god-like beings—anointed a select few to enact Their will and were, in turn, worshipped for Their impossible magics. Then came the Empire with contraptions of fire and iron, intent on devouring all. And though a savior was chosen to prevent their onslaught, she was not enough. The surface was left in ruins, the Empire taking to the sky with imprisoned Eidolons in tow. Lili has seen the worlds of the above and the below. She was there on the day the savior of worlds was chosen, and again when she was entombed. Centuries later, Lili herself awakens from arboreal slumber in the sky. When a chance visit at her apothecary puts her in the sights of a soldier blinded by honor, she has a chance to confirm her belief once and for all. But with the empire desperate to maintain their control over the Eidolons, Lili quickly finds herself involved in a problem much deeper than she knows how to solve. Ahelicia knows only of the Empire, and it is to this she stakes her loyalty. For years, she has been a devoted knight of one of the empire's five Houses, worshipping her Lady above all. But when she learns of a condition that could prematurely end her service, Ahelicia is forced to make an impossible choice—one that will spell her ruination if she's caught.
