Plot
Skies of Fire takes place in the fictional Aquilan Empire, a kingdom roughly analogous to post-WW1 Great Britain. Instead of a navy, the Aquilans maintain a vast fleet of airships to defend its colonies, trade routes, and holdings.
In the center of the Empire lies a monstrous, never-ending storm called The Expanse. It’s so dangerous not even the Royal Fleet dares venture into it for fear of losing its ships, personnel, and cargo. Naturally, that’s made The Expanse a haven for those who would prey on the Empire for their own gain.
The story begins when the notorious raider Delmonte destroys a key trading port in the Empire's north, grinding commerce to a halt. That, of course, is not acceptable to King Percival, who orders a tenacious captain to enter the Expanse and take Delmonte down...
