In a time long forgotten, where history and myth intertwine, seven nations stand tentatively united under Empress Alba Pir. As her lastborn daughter and heir, Princess Inkiritva Pir, prepares to ascend to her rightful place, the quest for a suitable consort looms large. And so she must dance before the nobles, that one might be selected, even though she knows whom she has chosen. Inkiritva yearns for Calder Matilda, her childhood friend and the heir to his family's deep earth resources corporation. Calder, driven by a desire for justice, is torn between his father's ambitions and his own quest to right the wrongs he sees. Fate introduces him to Iris Radi, a blind employee at his uncle's radium dye works, revealing a hidden past and a present marked by betrayal and murder. What did Justice Radi find, in the depths of that mine, that needed to be hushed up so badly? At a time when deep earth fuel accessibility fluctuates, Iris helps Calder translate a manuscript revealing an ancient sustainable energy technology. Who is Iris? Why does she know the lost language of a bygone era, let alone how to read and write? Calder's discovery might lead to sustainable green energy, but it could come at an unseen cost. As peasants begin to develop strange powers, Empress Alba hides herself away behind the castle walls. Her hands still weave the threads of fate, yet fate begins to take its toll. Sea of Tear and Sky is an epic tale of love, betrayal, and the unyielding pursuit of truth. In a world where ancient powers and modern ambitions collide, the destiny of seven nations lies in the hands of those who dare to uncover the hidden secrets of an ancient world. And many yearn to know. Though some would settle for small luxuries.
