High above the endless Cloud Sea drifts the ancient city of Aetherra, a place of steam and stories, where gears turn on forgotten truths and whispers of the past cling to every skybridge.

Elara Veyne is a young tinkerer with a mind wired for invention and a heart haunted by questions no one dares ask. When a beloved storyteller reveals a fragment of a buried history, Elara finds herself pulled into a secret deeper than the city's oldest tunnels, one that hints at a world before the sky, before the floating lands, and before the lie that holds everything in place.

With a ragtag crew of friends and a mysterious verse in hand, Elara must follow the threads of a story no one believes.

The Mourning Tide is the beginning of an epic fantasy adventure rich with steampunk magic, hidden history, and the quiet power of rebellion.
