Echo of the Lost Gods

<p>In the floating city of Aetheria progress is powered by a terrible secret: the seven great weather deities are imprisoned their divine essence harvested to keep the Skylands aloft. For generations this stolen power has brought humanity prosperity and security high above the chaotic surface world they abandoned.</p><p>Aria Stormveil knows nothing of this. Raised as a quiet acolyte in the Temple of Celestial Winds she believes she is an orphan with a strange inconvenient sensitivity to the weather. Her life is dedicated to hiding her differences to becoming invisible.</p><p>But the binding that holds the deities is failing. The Titan Storms-elemental furies once commanded by the gods-are growing stronger threatening to shatter the Skylands' hard-won peace. To appease these forces the temple oracles seek a human vessel for an ancient ritual one with a unique connection to the sky. They choose Aria.</p><p>Thrust into the center of a conflict she doesn't understand Aria discovers that her heritage is not a simple secret but a cosmic one. She is the daughter of a Sky Lord and the very storm god he helped imprison. Now she is the key-a resource to be used a weapon to be aimed. As she uncovers the truth behind her world's gilded cage Aria must make an impossible choice: reinforce the prison that enslaves her mother to save the lives of thousands or embrace her heritage and unleash a freedom that could shatter civilization.</p>
