SKYBORNE

By Andrew J. Harris

Juniper Reyes was seventeen and holding her little brother's jacket when the storm tore a hole in an Iowa cornfield and pulled her through it without him.
She wakes on Veyra: a forested moon that is not a place but a creature, threaded root to root by a living network called the Loom. The people who can hear it are called Wardens, and eleven are left. Jun hears it on her first night - which is impossible, unless she is what they are afraid she is. The last heir of the Reyva line. The bloodline that taught the moon to answer.
Director Marlow Voss has stripped twelve moons already. Veyra is the thirteenth, and his Silence Engine is nearly finished: one stroke, and the Loom is cut from itself across the whole moon, killed cleanly so the harvest can proceed without a living world fighting back. The Engine is missing one component. It is a Reyva.
His own daughter Petra has the arithmetic that proves it - and she is the only person alive who can tell Jun what stopping her father will cost.
Kestrel Ashdown, the last First Warden alive, gave her hand to the Engine's first test and does not want another apprentice. She has one season to train one anyway.
Bonded flight, borrowed strength, and four people each convinced they are missing the one thing they have had all along.
SKYBORNE is Book One of The Veyra Cycle.
