Conflict Born
March 24, 2022, Falstaff Books
Ellie Nivkah thought it was going to be just another contract: hunt the pirates, collect the bounty. Instead, she now has an injured crew, a damaged skyraker, no captured pirates, and a host of mysteries.
Chief among those: what was that strange ship that appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the pirates she was hunting and almost destroyed her? This was no random act of piracy, and she soon finds herself being drawn into plots and conspiracies that threaten the very skies she loves.

Warning: Mild Spoilers for Book 1
It’s been a year since Captain Ellie Nivkah met the noble mage Payra Margha and was drawn into the hunt for her brother’s skyraker Jormungaat. In the aftermath, Ellie chose to take her bounty and leave both Payra and the conspiracies behind.
Now, drawn in by secrets from her youth, Ellie accepts a suspicious contact in the remote islands of the Great Reef. She anticipated the trap, but she didn’t expect to find a forgotten history she’d once sworn to protect, nor to once again cross paths with Lady Margha.
The rebels behind the Jormungaat are far from defeated, and only Ellie, Payra, and the crew of the Asgert stand between them and the rediscovery of an ancient magic that could destroy the empire, and the world along with it.
