The Colossus

Six months ago, the Azure Colossus rose and cracked a city of three million like an egg. The world's still reeling. Locke took a bump and lost three years of his own life he can't remember. Now he's part of the crew of the Halcyon Days, the fastest ship in the sky. They run odd jobs, dodge debts, and try not to get shot down more than once a week. Captain Kaliston makes it look easy. First mate Valentine makes it actually work. And Kenzie, the girl Locke definitely doesn't have a crush on, makes it look like she's not watching everyone's tells. The Colossus is still out there. So is the zealot prince who woke it. But that's a problem for people with fewer creditors. ...Right? If you like banter, skyship chases, and warmth between the explosions, this is for you.

Available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover.

I didn't even make it 20% in before I HAD to have a physical hardcover on my shelf and ordered it.

The City in the Sands

Spoilers: Click to Reveal

The crew of the Halcyon Days saved a nation. Now they are flying into the heart of the empire that wants them dead. Hailed as heroes after sinking the Colossus, Kal and his crew are pulled past Iverian borders into Aurelia: red sand, old grudges, and a second Colossus chained beneath a city built on conquest. With a princess-turned-soldier aboard and alliances already fraying, they have to infiltrate the most dangerous capital in the world. But Kenzie carries a secret that could unravel everything, and it grows harder to keep as the people she loves draw closer to the truth and the empire she fled closes in.

Wars don't end when the fighting stops. They end when the people who survived them decide what they're willing to become. For the crew of the Halcyon Days, that decision is coming whether they're ready or not.
