Devin Metreedi is used to doing things his own way - but Karana, his 3yo daughter - is a puzzle he can't solve or control the way he's used to. He'll have to get over his own deep-seated fears of parental abandonment to be the Papa she needs.
**********
What do you do when you are the richest and most powerful man in the world - and your three-year-old daughter just won't listen and keeps putting herself in danger?
Devin Metreedi likes to have everything under his control.
Not that he's ever been able to control the really important things in his life, beginning with his parents being slain by pirates when he was three-years-old himself.
Perhaps it's because of that, but he's been holding himself back from really connecting with his daughter, despite being her primary stay-at-home parent (while he keeps the whole world running). After all, how can he risk loving her when he knows that parents aren't there to stay?
Little Karana's desire to try to sleep in what the Metreedi Family calls 'aerial playgrounds' - suspended structures of rope and wood designed to teach their children important skills early on - terrifies Devin (and everyone else tasked with her safety).
Solving this strange parenting problem will necessitate a deeper commitment...
********
This epic fantasy gives you a peek into what Karana was like long before she ever became the Knightess of the Realm... And also a peek into who the almost infamous Devin Metreedi was on the inside...
Explore the mysterious connections between Magick and Economics, Empire and Ethics... and Love.

Teaser:
Did you see how high I went, Uncle Andry? Did-you-did-you-did-you? I was up even higher than you can reach!
Andry bent over double to sweep the small girl up in his arms. You were, my lass. You're getting very brave.
Andry, don't encourage her, Devin said with a sigh, and as Karana's beaming little face fell, he cursed himself for his fumbling lack of subtlety. He should have left it to Andry, who seemed to have been born subtle.
You'd think that having spent every minute together that they could arrange since their mothers first had them share a cradle would have gotten some of that to rub off on Devin, but no...
