The world as we know it doesn't exist anymore. Humanity has retreated to the skies after almost being obliterated by the deadly Ghost Virus. Man-made islands floating in the troposphere house those that survived. The System, a new form of government, now controls and regulates everyone's lives in an effort to preserve the human race. Skyla Deep is not your average orphan in this sky born world; abused, neglected and in need of something the System doesn't offer...freedom. Desperate to live instead of merely exist, Skyla runs away. She aligns herself with one of the notorious sects who control the outer edges of the islands. There's just one problem. On an island this small you can only run from the System for so long. As events escalate, Skyla will come to question all that she's been taught to believe. She's always felt the System isn't what it claims to be, but wonders just how deep their treachery runs? And with the Ghost Virus making a reappearance on the islands, will humanity survive?
