There are only three rules at Ezkai Academy: Always obey your instructor. Never leave the Castle Grounds without permission. Don't ever screw your instructor. I break one before orientation even begins. Can you guess which one? When I arrive at the unforgiving fae city with the snowy mountains looming over it, I have two goals: 1.

One sunny day, a routine airshow ended with me flying through a portal to another world. Here, warplanes aren’t the only thing in the sky. Oh, and my mind has a tendency to see what others are thinking. Now, amongst airships, beautiful beastkin, floating continents, and telepathic powers, I’ll have to pick a side to fight for.

The cold was a living thing. It wasn't just the absence of heat; it was a predator with teeth of ice and a breath that stole the warmth from a man's bones. It seeped through the wool of his uniform, past the canvas of his coat, and settled deep in his marrow, a constant, aching companion.
