Ari lost everything she once loved when the Five Guilds' resistance fell to the Dragon King. Now, she uses her unparalleled gift for clockwork machinery in tandem with notoriously unscrupulous morals to contribute to a thriving underground organ market. There isn't a place on Loom that is secure from the engineer-turned-thief, and her magical talents are sold to the highest bidder as long as the job defies their Dragon oppressors.
Cvareh would do anything to see his sister usurp the Dragon King and sit on the throne. His family's house has endured the shame of being the lowest rung in the Dragons' society for far too long. The Alchemist Guild, down on Loom, may just hold the key to putting his kin in power, if Cvareh can get to them before the Dragon King's assassins.

When Ari stumbles upon a wounded Cvareh, she sees an opportunity to slaughter an enemy and make a profit off his corpse. But the Dragon sees an opportunity to navigate Loom with the best person to get him where he wants to go.
He offers her the one thing Ari can't refuse: a wish of her greatest desire, if she brings him to the Alchemists of Loom.

      Kova (the Air Awakens series) crafts a fascinating divided world and a more threadbare plot for her Loom epic fantasy series launch. Arianna is a young woman out for vengeance. Her people, the Fenthri, have been subjugated by the magic users called the Dragons, who live above the surface of the world of Loom on the floating Isles of Nova. Ari is old enough to remember a time when the Fenthri were free and able to choose their own paths, and she aches to toss the hated Dragons out of Fenthri lands. Ari is a chimera, a Fenthri who has absorbed body parts and blood of Dragons and become imbued with Dragon magic. With that magic and the skills she’s learned, Ari has every intention of destroying all the Dragons—until the Dragon Cvareh Xin ’Ryu Soh drops at her feet and offers her a boon if she’ll take him to the Alchemists’ Guild, where he hopes to help the Fenthri liberation cause, for reasons that remain opaque. Ari’s rationale for accepting the task rather than killing this representative of her most despised enemies is likewise unclear. The steampunk technology of the Fenthri and magic of the Dragons are nicely depicted, making up for the rather large holes in plotting and consistency.
