Description

Plummet into a kill-or-be-killed competition where a scrappy underdog hell-bent on revenge must claw his way to the top in this thrilling YA fantasy debut

Exiled to live as a Low, sixteen-year-old Conrad refuses to become heir to his murderous uncle. But Meritocracy is a harsh and unforgiving rule on the floating island of Holmstead, and when his ailing mother is killed by monstrous gorgantauns, Conrad cuts a deal to save the only family he has left. To rescue his sister from his uncle’s clutches, Conrad must enter the Selection of the Twelve Trades.

Hunter, the deadliest of all the Trades, gains a fresh recruit with Conrad. Now he must endure vigorous training, manipulative peers, and the Gauntlet—a brutal final test that yields riches and status to whichever skyship crew kills the most gorgantauns. Forced to serve in the lowest of stations and unseen by all, Conrad overhears whispers of rebellion in the dark. Conrad had never known anything existed below the toxic black clouds of the Skylands . . . until now.

About the Author

Photograph of author Marc J Gregson

When I was a boy, I was obsessed with learning. I’d often go to the local library with my father and bring home stacks of books on lions, dinosaurs, sports figures, and various wars. My love for fiction grew when I read Ender’s Game. From that point, I dove into Harry Potter and The Hobbit. These books sparked an interest not only in reading but writing as well.

I write sci-fi and fantasy, and my debut YA, Sky’s End, is book one of the Above the Black trilogy. Sky’s End is coming Spring 2024 from Peachtree Teen. The sequels will arrive in Spring 2025 and Spring 2026.
