A crippled airship appears in the southern skies of Venus. Its only occupant and survivor: a child named Aeolia. Her people gone, her origins a mystery, the Cytherean people welcome her in their midst. She learns their way of life, a people's concert of horizontal democracy and utopian ideals. Together, they navigate the stormy skies of their planet as she becomes a young woman who daydreams about the impossible day her people will return to space.

​

Yet peace can be an elusive thing, for the wind brings rumors of a great threat lurking beyond the equator. There are unknown forces lurking in the farthest reaches of the planet, forces that will stop at nothing to subjugate the world. Aeolia and the Cythereans scramble to put together a response as their way of life is tested to its limits in a desperate struggle for survival.

​

THE WIND OF VENUS is the first part of The Aeoliad, a series of novels chronicling Aeolia's journey in search for peace and understanding, for answers for the questions that surround her homeworld and the worlds beyond.
