This world includes spirits of different types, some of which deign to communicate with the different people's of the world through various scripts. The scripts used are distinct to the spirit, so their are Flamescripts, Windscripts, etc, and the person working with the spirit enters into a contract with that spirit. It is in this way that Miris is able to be a flier, onboard the *Dragonfly* with the aid of Seres.
After encountering a merchant who had somehow managed to trap a Star spirit in a lamp, Miris, with the aid of Belest, begins an investigation to discover how and where the mysterious Star stones are coming from, as the Star spirits do not, to Miris' knowledge, work with any of the people's of the world.
Join in on the adventure, as they travel to many different cities, encountering many different people - some good, some bad - all the while trying to uncover the origin of the Star spirit slave trade.
One additional note about the book, though I do not think it should deter you from reading it. When I began reading this book, it was slow-going. Not because of the story, for that is wonderful, but due to the new pronouns that were used (nir, ney, nem) for characters who are of the third gender, neither male nor female. As the main character, Miris, uses these pronouns, it tripped me up for the first chapter, slowing down my reading from their unfamiliarity - much like a foreign language. But, just like with a foreign language, it did not take long before the use was normal, and it no more slowed me down than any other word.
Indeed, by the end, I found myself enjoying the variety that the third gender brought to the novel, as it fit well within the world that had been built.
