American writer David Dalglish is the author of several popular series, including Shadowdance (six novels, starting with A Dance of Cloaks and A Dance of Blades, from Orbit), The Half-Orcs (seven books, starting with The Weight of Blood, self-published), and The Paladins (two volumes, also self-published). His latest is the opening volume of the new Seraphim trilogy, featuring floating islands holding the last remnants of humanity, and the elite winged soldiers who protect them.

Six islands float high above the Endless Ocean, where humanity’s final remnants are locked in brutal civil war.

Their parents slain in battle, twins Kael and Brenna Skyborn are training to be Seraphim, elite soldiers of aerial combat who wield elements of ice, fire, stone and lightning.

When the invasion comes, they will take to the skies, and claim their vengeance.
