The Wind Walker - Complete Trilogy
In Crater, freedom isn’t given—it’s stolen.
Zephyr has spent his life shackled in the depths of the city’s brutal mines, where only the strongest endure. As a Breaker Boy, he's little more than a cog in Crater's corrupt machine, but he dreams of a life aboveground, where he can soar across the skies instead of choking on coal dust. Yet in Crater, dreaming is a dangerous game—and it’s about to get lethal.
When a daring sky-pirate captain named Bacchus crashes into his path, hunting for a lost treasure that could upend the kingdom, Zephyr sees a chance to escape the mines once and for all. Desperate to break free, he joins forces with Crater’s ruthless thieves’ guild, wagering everything he has on a future in the skies. But as he’s drawn deeper into a web of cutthroat rivals and shifting allegiances, Zephyr must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice for freedom.
With enemies lurking at every turn and betrayal as common as gold, one wrong move could cost him everything.
The skies are calling—but the price for flying free might just be his life.

About the author
Simon Shugar
66 books41 followersHey, I’m Simon Shugar—fantasy author hooked on telling bold, emotional, action-heavy stories through raw, first-person journeys. If you like coming-of-age arcs, epic stakes, and human struggles in unreal worlds, you're in the right place!
I’m originally from Oxfordshire, England, now living in North Carolina with my wild little toddler and our very chill (and very spoiled) dog, Jasper. I’ve loved fantasy for as long as I can remember—drawn in by the magic, the grit, and the heart at the center of it all.
I studied game design for a bit, then pivoted into software engineering to pay the bills. But somewhere in between code and chaos, I started writing stories—and once I did, I couldn’t stop. Fast forward to now, I’ve written 13 novels across three trilogies and a standalone, with plenty more on the way.
