Synopsis
Kiy Tanthar works as a Cloudgazer based in the Brazak West town of Brudor. But both he and his client's daughter Hennie Litvyak must move on when war with Ganzabar ignites, leaving Brudor in flames. Kiy departs in search of Hennie's runaway brother Leo, while she must flee to the city of Laronor in the north. There she will overcome the challenges of the big city and meet a new friends, as well as discover a looming plot to destroy Brazak West's last hope of stopping the Ganzabi invasion: the Gundar.
Meanwhile, Kiy finds Leo. The two end up on the hyper-advanced Azrunite airship Akron, meeting Elzie Kerowan. Pressed into joining the Akron, Kiy is drawn into Commander Mestphura's secretive mission to recover something of great importance to Azrune: the prototype airship Postremo. Not an easy task, as the Postremo is in the possession of wicked Ganzabi Countess De Saufon, who entraps and captures the Akron. Using the Akron's ancient Jump System, Kiy and the crew escape the Countess to Nubylon.
In Laronor, Hennie has found refuge with the Lightlock family and prepares for the coming invasion with her new friend Karak, an ex-soldier. But Karak turns out to be a Ganzabi pilot , who tries to sabotage Laronor's defensive cannon: the Gundar. Hennie narrowly manages to stop him, but the Ganzabi attack on the city is imminent and she and her friends Jerra and Sput must take up arms to defend it.
Imprisoned by Azrune for being a Cloudgazer, Kiy is left powerless. But with the help of the Proctor and the unlikely alliance with Elzie, he escapes Nubylon and returns to Laronor, where a battle rages. Using his Cloudgazer abilities coupled with Elzie's expert piloting, the two assault the now captured Gundar head-on. Kiy manages to break past the point-defense and confront Admiral Moller, leader of the Ganzabi invasion. In a final clash, Moller fires on Laronor, to the horror of even the Ganzabi. Moller's bodyguard keeps Kiy restrained, but the Admiral is goaded and hastily fires a second time, causing the barrel to rupture and wrecking the installation. In the collapsing mass, Moller and his officers perish; while Kiy uses his Sling to get he and Hennie to safety.
While the Postremo is still at large and the war is unresolved, the Litvyaks are reunited and Kiy remarks that sometimes family is the only thing you have the power to look after. On reflection, he decides to head to Ganzabar, to discover what became of his kidnapped little sister from many years before.
