When the Kayavan Comet rises, storms upset the balance of power. Not a good time to be a pilot known as Storm Bringer.

Myths older than most of the Kayavan System’s settled worlds warn that when the Kayavan comet appears, storms would upset the Lighten landscape–both the literal kind and the whatever-can-go-wrong-will variety.

Though some ignored the myths, firsthand experience convinced Piers Phalen they were true. As crack pilot and security specialist for one of the most important men on Lighten, Mining Guild Master Brels, Phalen was prepared for storms, though.

At least he thought he was.

Warning the Guild Master about in-house security concerns should have been a simple conversation. One and done. But it got him noticed and assigned to the Guild Master’s pet project.

What should have been a simple flight unravels into a tangle of danger, unexpected betrayal, and budding political intrigue destined to change the future of the entire Kayavan System.

A storm worthy of Kayavan’s Rising.

Myths older than most of the settled worlds of the Kayavan System warn that when the Kayavan comet appears, storms will upset the balance of power.

The part about the comet signaling fierce storms was true enough, as to the rest? It made for entertaining media feeds but wasn’t enough to stop the biggest sporting event in the system—Lighten’s  Ring Fighting Championships.

Arilyn Lysand, one of Lighten’s most talented pilots, has a fraught relationship with the Transport Guild Master, preventing her from achieving much of anything. Skirting the edges of Transport Guild rules isn’t exactly the way to get out of her dead-end job at the Ship Yard. But she’s ready to use whatever she can to her advantage, and when forced to fly the Guild Master to the Championships, she plans to use the opportunity to make new connections and improve her prospects.

Lord Heir Matteo Sennet, heir to the largest Clan on Dextra, struggles with his own fraught relationship with his grandfather, Lord Timnon. Sent to the Championships to rub shoulders and make connections on behalf of his Clan, he has his own intentions in mind, plans which will require hiring a pilot once he gets to Lighten.

Flying Matteo on his personal errand starts off as a simple side job for Ari, but quickly unravels into a tangle of danger, unexpected alliances, and political intrigue destined to change the future of the entire Kayavan System. A storm worthy of Kayavan’s Rising.
