Hunted by the ruthless First Light Foundation fifteen-year-old Kite Nayward knows he can trust no-one with his secret. He is an exile, the last of his kind. To survive, he must stay hidden. But when an airship crashes in the toxic deserts of the Old Coast, and its strange and terrible cargo falls into his hands, Kite discovers there is nowhere he can hide from his cruel, relentless enemy…not even the skies.
The Kingdom of the Air is a breathtakingly imaginative debut novel about revenge, freedom and betrayal.
