This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
William Voss has crossed deserts, survived pursuit, and learned that the sky beasts he once thought belonged to legend may hold the key to breaking a system built on control.

In the Copper Desert, William and his companions uncover evidence of a forgotten history, one that reaches from the mysterious Divine Shepherd and the ancient presence of Caelum to the Northern Council and its efforts to control the creatures known as sky beasts. Along the way, they encounter allies carrying secrets of their own, imprisoned creatures waiting for freedom, and clues left behind by people who believed another way was possible.

But the farther William travels, the more he realizes that this journey is not simply about finding the remaining sky beasts. It is about deciding what should replace the system they are trying to escape.

With the Northern Council closing in and the past refusing to stay buried, William must learn to lead without owning, protect without controlling, and trust creatures and people who have every reason to distrust him.

From the Copper Desert to the Neval Mountains, the journey leads toward something no one has built before: a future where sky beasts choose where they belong, and a Shepherd serves them rather than rules them.

The road ahead is uncertain. The old order is watching. And somewhere beyond the mountains, the next piece of a much larger story is waiting.
