Note: This story functions as a standalone. It is not necessary to read its prequel to understand it.

Cypress Black is 22 and his life has just fallen apart at the seams. Superficially he had it all. Recently graduated from one of the most prestigious schools in the country, a bright career ahead, a loving family, and a wedding to his first love just around the corner, a near perfect Cinderella Story. Then the next thing he knows, he's bought an airship ticket to the edge of the country, and left it all behind.

Out at the frontier, things are different, the world less structured, the rules mostly unwritten. To survive requires a mixture of grit and razor sharp wit. It is here Cypress finds a home with a group of strangers. Two married brokers from the east, a Griffin prince, a Changeling airship pilot, and a young PhD candidate, all of them seeking the same thing.

Together they chase the impossible: to be the first to make it to the Edge of the World...
