In a world of floating cities and steam-powered skyships, the most feared pirate is a mountain of a man named Cannonballs, known for his explosive approach to problem-solving. When he learns of a legendary power source known as the Heart of the World, he sees a chance for ultimate freedom from the oppressive Aetherian Empire. But he's not the only one hunting for it. He and his ragged crew aboard the rust-bucket Jagged Talon must outwit the relentless Admiral Sterling and outpace his vicious rival, the cruel pirate Silas Vane, in a brutal race across the skies. It's a classic tale of piracy and rebellion, re-forged in brass, steam, and aetherium.
