Django Wexler answered Sage's question: Hi! I know it’s been over four years since you released it, but I was wondering if Netherwings would get a sequel? I’ve looked around but I can’t really find any information. Thank you and have a nice day! Sadly, the answer is no. Audible published that one, so it's on them to order a second one and so far they haven't. Makes me sad, because I really like that story! Maybe someday.
