The Skylands are floating continents, islands in the sky, of a fantasy realm known as Talvali. It is a patchwork world into which pieces of other lands are taken. In this world, the proud ferret-like warrior, Macaferty Jahn, must deal with magic, battle, his allies, his enemies, and the frustrating nature of those not native to his beloved world.
Jahn is a warrior on a mission. Fiercely proud despite his diminutive size, he nonetheless has to face incredible odds owing to far more than just a disparity in height. But as he fights against a band of brigands, a change arises: a change that impacts his life in a truly gigantic way.
