ASIN B004Z81SCC moved to the most recent edition here Lorenzo Quesada believes an ancient relic will restore his dying country to prosperity and honor, unless the military finds it first. Taziri Ohana is on a routine flight when she discovers a secret Espani warship, which shoots her down, stranding her behind enemy lines. Thrown together by fate, Lorenzo and Taziri race through a gauntlet of vicious assassins, undead demons, and giant beasts to find the fabled Skyfire Stone. But when the Espani warship sets sail for Marrakesh, Lorenzo must stop a war that could destroy the Middle Sea, even if it costs him both the stone and his life. Welcome to a fantasy world where strange machines sail the seas and the skies, enormous prehistoric beasts roam the earth, and the restless dead whisper to the living.
