High above the luminous Cloud Sea floats the Garden-a woven sanctuary of moss terraces, living Sky Bridges, and crystalline Lantern Towers. For generations, the Garden has survived the violent storms beyond its Glass Sky through the sheer force of lightning channeled through its roots. But when an unprecedented tempest strikes, raw force is no longer enough.

As the barrier falters and the braided bridges threaten to tear themselves apart under rigid command, a fragile blue-shelled snail named Alder steps forward. Alder cannot fight the storm. He cannot channel the roaring lightning like the silver-streaked tree frogs. But Alder can listen.

In The Lanterns Beyond the Glass Sky, join Alder and a fractured-winged firefly named Ignis on a desperate journey across the crumbling Sky Bridges. To save their home, they must carry a glowing Lantern Shard to a dying tower-not by overpowering the storm, but by teaching the Garden's terrified roots how to breathe again.

A breathtaking, beautifully atmospheric fantasy about the profound strength found in gentleness, the danger of absolute control, and the courage it takes to heal a breaking world from the inside out.
