Firefly meets Final Fantasy as a daring crew faces off against a cruel order of sorcerous knights. The Axiom Diamond is a mythical relic, with the power to show its bearer any truth they desire. Men have sought for it across many continents for centuries, but in vain. When trainee sorceress Aimee de Laurent's first ever portal-casting goes awry, she and her mentor are thrown into the race to find the gem, on the skyship Elysium. Opposing them are the infamous magic-wielding knights of the Eternal Order and their ruthless commander, Lord Azrael, who will destroy everything in their path...

Reviews

One of those remarkable books that consists entirely of the good parts. Nonstop fun with unexpected moments of real pathos.
- Neal Stephenson

To say thatSkyfarerwasFireflymeets the Battle at Helms Deep would be to dismiss the amazing world-building that Brassey wraps us up in, or to gloss over the intricate and intense battles we are thrust into, both on high and up close. Brassey raises the bar for everyone else. More, please.
Mark Teppo, author ofEarth ThirstandSilence of Angels

This book has one of the best covers Ive seen all year, and its incredibly accurate in its depiction of the characters and mood of the story. Do judge the book by its cover!
Beth Cato, author ofBreath of Earth

Brasseys writing is an adrenaline dump in page form.
Stant Litore, author of The Zombie Bible series

A richly imagined story full of soaring adventure, dark intrigue, and characters youll fall in love with.
Megan E OKeefe, author ofInherit the Flame

Brassey has created an action-packed roller coaster ride with rich characters, incredible combat scenes, and a fresh heroine audiences will love.
John G Hartness, author of the Black Knight Chronicles series

Skyfarerended up being just about everything I was hoping it would be.
Writings of a Reader

A delightful experience.

No one who readsSkyfarerwill ever accuse Joseph Brassey of being hip; this novel is so unabashedly dorky, it reads like something dreamed by a Mountain Dew guzzling twelve-year-old hooked on Star Wars and Final Fantasy. This sword and sorcery space adventure stands apart from everything else currently out there in the SFF market.
The 1000 Year Plan

This is a fun read the pacing, the tone, everything makes this feel like the adventure films and books that I grew up on. You want to read it not just to find out whats going to happen next, but because its written in such a way that you just want to be reading the book, like a having a glass of iced tea on a summers day.
The Irresponsible Reader

Its hard to write a good review of this book because the entire time I was reading it, I was just having so much fun and couldnt put it down I already know several people who Im going to make read this when it comes out, and I cant wait on the next book. This is a book that I would very highly recommend and is one that I will happily re-read multiple times. If you enjoy Fantasy or Sci-Fi, I would definitely suggest giving this a chance. Its a fast and fun read and I just had so much fun reading it.
