Airovale Episode 2: The Crescent Islands

View on Amazon

The Crescent Islands beckon with volcanic heat and whispered legend. What begins as a copper mining expedition transforms into a descent through torchlit temples where treasure circles molten pools like carefully staged bait. Gold glints against obsidian walls, ancient sigils watching like patient eyes.

Here, the crew of the Gilded Star encounters Mahala—a tragic guardian bound by envy and flame, cursed to summon storms with prayers sharp as knives. Her fury reveals the terrible truth: these islands harbor not cursed gold, but a cursed keeper. Every coin claimed exacts a price measured in lightning and wrath.

As zeppelins lift with groaning hulls laden with temple treasure, clouds mass overhead like listening doom. The Nereid lags behind as electricity forms a face in the gathering storm. In this steampunk fantasy where fae guardians enforce cosmic law, wonder inevitably turns toward reckoning. The island is not backdrop—it is judge, jury, and executioner.

This is Airovale: where every choice echoes across time, and the law of exchange cannot be escaped.

About Airovale: Airovale is a sweeping tale of marooned aeronauts, forbidden love, and an island where time itself demands its due. Fans of steampunk fantasy, forbidden romance, and mythic world-building will be swept away into a story where every kiss, every betrayal, and every choice echoes across generations.

When a storm maroons a zeppelin crew on a forgotten island, they believe survival means food, fire-stone, and a way home. But Airovale is no ordinary island. Here, fae walk beside mortals, beasts bend to their guardians, and a single day lingers as a year beyond its shores.

The villagers warn: 'This island never gives—there is only exchange.'

Drawn into the mysteries of the canyon city and the glowing ruins beneath the river, young aeronaut Aden discovers more than danger. With Kira, the fae daughter of an elder bound by duty to another, he learns the island's hidden law of time, love, and consequence. Every choice exacts a price, and desire itself can tip the balance.

As greed devours his crew, as war stirs between human and fae, Aden and Kira must decide whether to return to a world that has already aged beyond them—or risk everything in a portal that could cast them centuries into the past.
