Infos

High above a forgotten world, the city of Cloudspire glitters, a metropolis of interconnected walkways and shimmering spires, suspended by the swirling power of aetherium clouds.  For Dax Mallory, a seventeen-year-old thief haunting the city's shadowed underbelly, survival is a daily hustle.  Orphaned by the Skybound Council's brutal enforcers, he carries the weight of his younger sister, Elara, and a burning thirst for vengeance.
A whisper in the rain-slicked alleys offers a chance at both: steal the Stormstone, the heart of Cloudspire's power.  It's a job so audacious, so impossible, it could change everything. But the Stormstone is more than just a power source; it's a relic of forgotten magic, whispering secrets the Council barely understands, and a beacon of hope for the Whispering Rebellion, a clandestine network fighting for Cloudspire's freedom.
Dax's path collides with Saria, an illusionist whose ethereal grace masks a past shrouded in guilt, and Jaren, a grizzled airship captain whose loyalty was shattered, leaving only cold fury. Their escape route: the *Whisperwind*, a vessel powered by stolen skyshard technology, capable of impossible maneuvers.  Their plan: a daring heist during the Convergence, a celestial alignment that amplifies the Stormstone's power, but also threatens to send Cloudspire plummeting into the abyss below.
Clockwork sentinels, arcane traps, and the Council's ruthless enforcer, Rhys Evans, stand between them and their prize. Amidst the breathtaking dance with death, Dax discovers his sister's hidden connection to the Stormstone, transforming his quest for vengeance into a desperate fight for her survival. Saria's illusions begin to crack under pressure, revealing the turmoil within.  Jaren's thirst for revenge threatens to consume them all.
As the Convergence paints the sky with vibrant aetheric energy, they infiltrate the Council headquarters.  But the rebellion's charismatic leader, Deborah Davis, harbors a secret agenda, one that could reshape Cloudspire in her own image.  Dax faces an agonizing choice: use the Stormstone to save the city or unleash its power against those who destroyed his family.  In a city teetering on the brink of destruction, a thief must choose between vengeance and hope, between a past that haunts him and a future he never dared to dream.  The Stormstone's legacy hangs in the balance.
