Once upon a time, the Freely family was legendary- a remarkable lineage of inventors and visionaries, whose creations brought progress to the world. But that was eight years ago, before the Freelander Disaster changed everything, leaving cousins Arlyn and Graylin Freely to pick up the pieces of their family and its legacy. However, when a fresh tragedy shakes their lives once more, the cousins begin to question what truly happened on that fateful day.
With a loyal crew and a rebuilt airship, Arlyn and Graylin are drawn into a web of mysteries that threaten to change everything they thought they knew about their family. Their journey leads them to cross paths with shadowy figures from their past, yet, the more they uncover, the deeper the questions become: Who were their parents, truly? Could they still be alive- and if so, is that a reunion they're ready for?
As the cousins hunt for answers, their bond is tested by old wounds, unexpected alliances, and a haunting realization that forces them to ask: How far are they willing to go for the truth, and how hard is it to heal from the burns the Freely family legacy left on them?

Emma enjoys many things, but as her interests tend to fall in the expectedly creative category, it might be best to list her dislikes. Theseinclude omelets, velvet, and a lack of semi-colons in modern literature. Emma hates roller coasters but adores storms, and would gladly become a tornado wrangler if this author thing doesn't work out. When not writing, drawing, listening to music, or thinking about doing anyof those things, she can often be found in the company of her cousin and favorite person, Evelyn. This is her first book, and she intends toproduce many more.
