Storm Glass by Jeff Wheeler
From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Kingfountain Series comes the first novel in a bold and richly imagined world. Theirs is a world of opposites. The privileged live in sky manors held aloft by a secretive magic known only as the Mysteries. Below, the earthbound poor are forced into factory work to maintain the engine of commerce. Only the wealthy can afford to learn the Mysteries, and they use their knowledge to further lock their hold on society. Cettie Pratt is a waif doomed to the world below, until an admiral attempts to adopt her. But in her new home in the clouds, not everyone treats her as one of the family. Sera Fitzempress is a princess born into power. She yearns to meet the orphan girl she has heard so much about, but her father deems the girl unworthy of his daughter’s curiosity. Neither girl feels that she belongs. Each seeks to break free of imposed rules. Now, as Cettie dreams of living above and as Sera is drawn to the world below, they will follow the paths of their own choosing. But both girls will be needed for the coming storm that threatens to overturn both their worlds.
“Wheeler opens the Harbinger Series by laying a solid foundation of imaginative steampunk fantasy world-building…A beautifully told tale that’s populated by characters worthy of investment and accessible to readers of all ages” —Publishers Weekly “Storm Glass is a story rich with complex plot lines and in-depth characters. Mature readers will love the political intrigue and examination of societal class structure, while the mystery story, ghosts, and glimpses of magic make the novel more approachable to everyone…A stunning blend of Regency-style historical fiction and fantasy with some steampunk vibes. The effect is a rich world, reminiscent of our own history, but with enough magic to ensure that we are aware this isn’t our world at all. Fans of epic fantasy and historical fantasy will easily fall in love with this new series.” —Teenreads
