The Boundless Empyrean
A city rebuilt in splendor.
A rogue driven back to the world that forged him.
And the final gamble that may decide the fate of suns.
Gaebrel Haarn has outrun pirates, warlords, sorcerers—and even prophecy itself. But there is no escaping the pull of the past.
When the Sparrow is blown off course, Gaebrel returns to Stozenvaal—the lawless rock of his birth—and finds it transformed. Once a haven of taverns and cutthroats, the Crook now rises in white towers and war fleets, its sudden splendor masking something far more ambition, hidden power, and debts long unpaid.
Old ghosts await him.
A father’s cursed legacy.
Enemies who remember every wound.
And the medallion that still burns at his side, binding him tighter with every passing day.
Hunted across the Empyrean by zealots, mercenaries, and the winged raiders of the peradins, Gaebrel and his comrades are drawn into a gathering storm. Battles explode across skies and seas—from the frozen winds of the Harza Reach to the glittering spires of Stozenvaal itself.
But the deadliest threat isn’t waiting beyond the stars. It waits in blood and memory.
As old family ties resurface and buried truths come due, Gaebrel must finally confront the legacy he has spent a lifetime outrunning. Survival will demand more than blades and bravado—it will require facing the one enemy he cannot outfly or his own family.
The Boundless Empyrean delivers soaring skyship battles, deadly intrigue, and the emotional culmination of Gaebrel’s long flight from his past. The Nine Suns hurtle toward their ultimate fate as legends rise, curses tighten, and the boldest gamble of all is finally laid on the table.
Perfect for fans of Scott Lynch, Michael Moorcock, and David Gemmell—
and for readers who crave swashbuckling fantasy where swords clash, airships burn, and destiny is always one daring wager away.
