Broken Sky
The building was supposed to be empty.
Spinner earns his living stripping useful machinery from ruins that drift into the sky. The parts help keep Sparrow’s Hat alive, a vast living ship carrying everyone he calls home.
Then a routine recovery leaves him with an injured stranger instead of a cargo hold full of salvage. She was inside a building his orders marked empty. Back aboard the ship, the official account gives him another reason to doubt what he’s been told.
Looking for answers could cost Spinner his crew’s wages and the safer future he’s been promised. Taking the woman home will carry him beyond the routes he knows, into a world where the wreckage has owners and his work has consequences.
As the machinery beneath the sky begins to fail, Spinner must find out whose records he can trust, what his city is doing to the ground below, and whether keeping his own people alive means leaving others to die.
