Strap in for a high-octane mission that hurls Conrad and crew
toward jaw-dropping discoveries that could trigger total obliteration,
in Book Two of the Above the Black fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of Sky's End.
It takes guts to rise to the top of Meritocracy. It'll take
sheer ruthlessness to stay there. As militants and monsters lay waste to
the Skylands, Uncle's lawless tyranny threatens to unravel fragile
Trade alliances. Conrad, no longer a mere Captain, now commands a
squadron of ships at the order of the King. But Conrad's High status
can't protect him from his own turmoil, and the price of power is
steeped in blood.
Tormented by tragedies of war and by betrayal from his own family, Conrad must prove his worth to
all of the Skylands. Led by an unhinged Explorer, Conrad embarks
on a secret expedition to turn the tides of battle--before another
island falls at the jaws of the gigataun. It's a journey fraught with
peril: Deadly monstrosities. Sabotage. Stowaways. And with friendships
pushed to the brink and gentle romance stirring, Conrad will have to
muster more than courage to weather the raging storms ahead.
