Skyfarer

Firefly meets Final Fantasy as a daring crew faces off against an order of sorcerous knights
 
The Axiom Diamond is a mythical relic with the power to show its bearer any truth they desire. Men have traveled across continents—and across centuries—to find it, but their searches have all been in vain. 

When apprentice sorceress Aimee de Laurent’s first ever portal-casting goes awry, she and her mentor are thrown into the race to find the lost gem, on the skyship Elysium. Opposing them are the infamous magic-wielding knights of the Eternal Order and their ruthless commander, Lord Azrael, who will destroy everything in their path . . .

"This book has one of the best covers I've seen all year, and it's incredibly accurate in its depiction of the characters and mood of the story. Do judge the book by its cover!" - Beth Cato

"Brassey's writing is an adrenaline dump in page form." - Stant Litore

"A richly imagined story full of soaring adventure, dark intrigue, and characters you'll fall in love with." - Megan E O'Keefe

"One of those remarkable books that consists entirely of 'the good parts.' Nonstop fun with unexpected moments of real pathos." - Neal Stephenson

"To say that Skyfarer was Firefly meets the Battle at Helm's Deep would be to dismiss the amazing world-building that Brassey wraps us up in, or to gloss over the intricate and intense battles we are thrust into, both on high and up close. Brassey raises the bar for everyone else. More, please." - Mark Teppo
