I am currently reading the first book and I'm loving it a lot! I'd love to receive an arc for the next book. You can send the e-arc in my mail: starlight.1sana@gmail.com




"A world whose foundations are laid atop eons of ruin, where ancient technologies run forgotten beneath the surface of the present. It is the hour of abominations, and of unsuspecting heroes destined to be drawn into the mysteries of their times…
In Part 2: West, Captain Tomas Casadore of the Righteous Supplicant makes port with the Fleet of the Five Winds in Tetwan, a powerful and decadent city-state which the Admiral Gai-Loh seeks to bring beneath the imperial fold. The lords of Tetwan are proud, however, and as payment for their submission they demand the impossible: the newcomers must “cage the quetzal”- a bird that dies in captivity- and thereby fulfill an ancient prophecy of their people.
Only the lawless jungle-dwellers called Quetzitos know the secret of their quarry’s capture, and so Tomas, a “half-savage,” is dispatched to find them. Success demands that they brave the treacherous jungle of the Knot and enter into the mountain called Stoneheart, where a vanished civilization lies entombed with the tools of its self-destruction. There amidst the ruins, Tom will be forced to reckon not only with the tragedy of his own fate, but that of all mankind.
Fleet of the Five Winds is a vivid and richly detailed science-fantasy epic told in five parts, set against the backdrop of an unthinkable past."
