Darian Vern has always been a nobody on the floating isles. But when a near-death experience awakens an ancient Inheritance System, he learns he's the last scion of the Ashkari, rulers of the shattered Sky Empire. Now, every faction wants him dead or under control. The most dangerous: Vexen Ironstrike, a former soldier whose family suffered under Ashkari tyranny. Vexen leads a faction to eradicate the bloodline entirely. As Darian flees, he uncovers the truth: his ancestors were oppressors, and the rebellion was just. But Vexen's methods are brutal, targeting innocents. Torn between guilt and survival, Darian must forge his own path—neither tyrant nor puppet. In a world of sky-seas and Echo Prisms, he'll need to master his Resonance skills to survive and maybe, against all odds, bring a new kind of order.
