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." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://smpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S190C443927</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S190C443927</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gregson, Marc J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/443927190</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781682637067/MC.GIF&amp;client=310-458-8600&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sky's End]]></title><description><![CDATA["Exiled to live as a Low, sixteen-year-old Conrad refuses to become heir to his murderous uncle.
