Airovale is an epic steampunk fantasy adventure where zeppelins rule the skies, faeries guard ancient secrets, and time itself becomes the ultimate treasure. In the bustling capital of Airovale, aeronauts chase fortune across the Southern Sea. When a fleet of miners ventures to the Crescent Islands seeking copper and legendary temple gold, they awaken an ancient curse. A vengeful storm decimates the ships. Survivors sacrifice their treasure to save the drowning, returning home empty-handed-only to discover that family was the fortune they sought all along.
One zeppelin escapes the storm but drifts for weeks into uncharted waters, crash-landing on the mysterious island of Canyon Myst. Here, humans and fae live under an uneasy pact, bound by the Law of Exchange: the island never gives-only trades. The Mystics offer coal, provisions, and repairs. But the mines reveal gold and gems beyond measure, and greed takes hold.
What the crew doesn't know: time moves differently on Canyon Myst. Each day is worth more than it seems.
Aden, an orphaned aeronaut, and Kira, a fae princess promised to another, fall into forbidden love while exploring a submerged ancient city. Together they uncover the island's darkest secret-a time portal leading to epochs past. When their affair is exposed, a deadly duel erupts, leaving Aden condemned to die while his crewmates flee with stolen treasure.
A tale of curses and choices, sacrifice and escape, Airovale asks what we trade for ambition-and whether love can outweigh the cost.
