"A rollicking tale with magic, pirates, and multiple viewpoints that will keep readers turning pages. Our Verdict: GET IT" Kirkus reviews

Lakes have no business floating above the world. They have less business staying there. But that’s what happens when magical beings disagree.

In an effort to unravel the mysteries of magic, and save their dying relationship, Jonathan Braxton and William Watts Worthwaddle have embarked on a journey to investigate the source of sorcery.

Their pursuit leads them to the skybound lands of Dressa Moore where a magical battle between a wizard and dragon sent the lake soaring into the sky. But the professors are soon entangled in a deadly game of global politics—pawns in a struggle between empires, gods, magi, constables, religious zealots, and anti-zealots.

Hunted from all sides, the professors race to conduct their scientific research. But they soon learn that science alone is no match for mysteries of sorcery and their research just might create a magical tsunami that could destroy the world.

The one question they never considered asking—should magic be researched at all?
