The Drifting Marches of Corveira

The sky-plateaus of Corveira are dropping into the void. For generations, ancient gravity beacons have held the high towns and terraced vineyards suspended above the deadly mist of the lowlands. Now the beacon network is going dark, city by city, and the duchies have turned their cannons on each other in a desperate scramble for the surviving spires. Navigator Vasco Tenreiro wants only to guide his aging aerostat vessel clear of the gunfire, but when chart-maker Ysabel Armenta discovers that the grand central beacon can be restored, Vasco must steer his frigate into the teeth of an airborne blockade. With canvas wings, broadside cannons, and fading ballast, they make a bittersweet final voyage across the dying sky to save a nation from the long fall.
