"The lessons of our past and the promises of our future lie beyond the Land of Dust and Shadow." Book 3 of The Airship Andalusia - Return to Seven Moon Crossing is on the way! Everyone has a past. As Polonius, Lady Penelope, and the crew of the Airship Andalusia race towards their Summer Solstice rendezvous with the SpiritWalker at Seven Moon Crossing, we learn more about the crew: the experiences that transformed the Neathergardens from royalty into rebels; the life of Lady Katrin Killian; the friendship of Stonemaaker and Farraday. Taking the road less travelled. To avoid Sovereign-patrolled territory, the renegades use an ancient route known only as The Old Way, to make their way through the Badlands. Along the way, they encounter the Helenes. A clan of fierce warriors led by farseer Lady Helena Xanthippe, the Helenes have been recruited by the SpiritWalker to help Polonius and Lady Penelope in their struggle against the Sovereign. But, Lady Xanthippe has critical information for the Andalusia crew. With this news, priorities change and a mission is planned to rescue two freedom fighters from the Sovereign's impenetrable fortress dungeon, Shadow Veil Prison. Old enemies, new friends. Breaking in to Shadow Veil Prison proves far easier than getting back out. Unbeknownst to the renegades, the powerful Lady Aleksa Krane has been dispatched to the fortress dungeon to interrogate the captured freedom fighters. The rescue mission becomes a frantic race against time to save the imprisoned rebels before Lady Krane can extract the information she needs. Forces collide and the encounter between Lady Krane and Lady Xanthippe provides a glimpse into the corporeal and ethereal conflict still to come. Lovers and fighters. Escape from Shadow Veil Prison proves to be much more difficult than imagined. Lost in the depths of the subterranean redoubt, the rescuers face the grim prospect of being captured by Sovereign forces. An urgent message sent to Polonius aboard the Andalusia brings help from above. With the full force of the airship's might brought to bear against the Sovereign fortress, the rescuers fight their way to the surface with the help of a most unlikely hero, someone from Thweela and Cee's past. Artifacts. With Sovereign forces in pursuit, the Airship Andalusia makes a hasty retreat to the intertwined canyons of The Old Way. The smaller, more agile Sovereign aircraft prove difficult to lose amidst the maze of steep-walled canyons. Guidance from Lady Killian's sentient artifact, Index, proves invaluable. Once again, Polonius uses The Gift to ask for help and a dangerous escape plan is undertaken using the Singularity Harness and the Temporal Displacement Engine. What lies ahead for Polonius, Lady Penelope, and the crew of the Airship Andalusia? The Land of Dust and Shadow awaits.
