The Keepers of Crux


After years of traveling the Empire’s floating islands, bounty hunter Ringo and his ward Arjun have faced their share of danger—but nothing like this. When Ringo acquires the Shaft of Crux, a powerful artifact tied to an ancient war, they become the targets of the Keepers of Crux—a secretive order of immortals sworn to ensure the artifact remains lost. 

Trapped in Catania City as a brutal storm rolls in, Ringo and Arjun must outwit the relentless Keepers before the Shaft falls into their hands. With assassins lurking in the shadows and old enemies closing in, survival will demand more than just Ringo’s centuries of experience—it will require Arjun to finally prove himself as a true partner.

Can Ringo and Arjun escape the storm… or will they be consumed by it?
