A fantastical steampunk first contact novel that ties together high magic, high technology, and bold characters to craft a story you won't soon forget. Captain Talis just wants to keep her airship crew from starving, and maybe scrape up enough cash for some badly needed repairs. When an anonymous client offers a small fortune to root through a pile of atmospheric wreckage, it seems like an easy payday. The job yields an ancient ring, a forbidden secret, and a host of deadly enemies. Now on the run from cultists with powerful allies, Talis needs to unload the ring as quickly as possible. Her desperate search for a buyer and the fallout from her discovery leads to a planetary battle between a secret society, alien forces, and even the gods themselves. Talis and her crew have just one desperate chance to make things right before their potential big score destroys them all.

A novel with a good mix of sci-fi and steampunk elements. The worldbuilding was unique and done well. The character development could be better for some side characters. It would also help if the elites and governing forces were involved more in the plot, to give an expanded view of the world rather than restricting it to the crew of the ship. There are some deus ex machina scenes. Overall a good debut. I'll be continuing the series.
