Winning the crown was only the beginning.
Jacs, now the rightful

customs and traditions of a Realm she had only read about in books. The
Council of Four have her firmly under their thumb, and their ideas for the
Queendom are oppressive and outdated. Their knowledge of her mother and
Master Leschi’s whereabouts is the only leverage they need to make the new
Queen dance to their tune.
Jacs is determined to find those who
were taken from her and do what’s right for her Queendom. But in her search
for answers, Jacs uncovers a much darker truth from the Queendom’s past that

Book Description:
In a Queendom divided, can one girl unite the realms?
Jacs,
an inventor’s apprentice from the Lower Realm, has only ever
dreamed of what the land among the clouds holds. That is until she
finds a letter from Connor, an Upperite boy hoping to learn more
about the land below. Little does Jacs know, Connor is actually
Prince Cornelius of the Queendom of Frea. With wooden boats and
hot air balloons, the two begin a secret correspondence. But their
friendship is divided by a heavily-guarded bridge and an
inescapable prejudice.
The strength of their bond was
thought to transcend distance and time, but when the royal family
visits the Lower Realm, the Queendom’s feud is reignited.
To
save her people, Jacs must infiltrate the Upper Realm and earn her
place to compete in the Contest of Queens. In a story about
friendship, love, bravery, and defying gravity, Jacs will strive
to prove that a Queendom is strongest when united.
