About Airovale Steampunk Fantasy Series
Airovale is a steampunk fantasy saga where aeronauts, fae guardians, and island mariners discover that survival comes at the price of time itself. Set in a world of steam-powered airships and ancient fae magic, the story unfolds across both a steampunk fantasy novel and cinematic video episodes, following characters bound by the mysterious Law of Exchange.
When the coal-fired airship Nereid crashes on Canyon Myst—an island where fae enforce an eternal bargain—the crew learns that nothing is free. Every rescue demands a cost. Every choice carries weight. From Aden's desperate search for belonging to Kira's rebellion against duty, these steampunk fantasy characters navigate a world where love, treasure, and time are all bound by invisible ledgers.
Meet the heroes, guardians, and villagers whose stories weave through eight cinematic episodes, testing the limits of courage, loyalty, and what we're willing to exchange for the things we desire most—even when we already had it in our hand.

What is the Law of Exchange in Airovale?
The Law of Exchange is a mysterious fae rule enforced on Canyon Myst island. It dictates that survival comes at the price of time itself—every rescue demands a cost, every choice carries weight, and nothing is truly free.
What is the main theme of Airovale?
Airovale demonstrates the human condition of always wanting more, without taking a pause to show gratitude. In the moment of want, a character simply wishes to eat, drink, be safe, or see their family again. But when riches appear, greed distracts and pushes those basic priorities away, deceiving the character into justifying a delay, or taking a risk with what they held in their hand (safe passage, time, family), for something more.
