Far below the clouds, a different story unfolds. Demetrius Rucca, confined to a wheelchair and the son of an influential religious figure, starts gathering followers to back a rebellious cause of his own. As his circle of loyal supporters expands, Demetrius begins to sense unfamiliar powers stirring inside him. Those powers might be the rescue he has been searching for, or they might bring ruin on everything people know. This omnibus gathers the four original serialized parts into one volume, set in a world of airship factions, corporate schemers, zealots and thieves.
