The spies who’d been hounding them had to be dealt with, revealing them to be a few clans from the empire. They’d had to kill all involved, only bringing further trouble when an Imperial investigator arrived to question them. They held strong, and eventually, the investigator left with more than enough evidence of the clans being sanctioned.
The wedding finally arrived, and the family celebrated Verka joining them. Gregory overcame the ritual of the climb up the temple road, including talking Ragnar down. Having married Verka just before the solstice, all of them were looking forward to a week off to enjoy their newest addition.
Sadly, it was right in the middle of the Festival of Krog that Buldoun blundered. Launching an unprovoked and deadly attack, Buldoun might have managed to capture or decimate the city if not for Gregory’s foresight. When the attack was finally thwarted and the Buldounish ships sailed off, the city began to pick itself back up.
The Pettits did their best to help the city, all while wondering what would happen next. More of their family would be arriving during the year, and Krogga would be turning its angry gaze toward Buldoun. There was so much waiting to be settled that anything could happen, and they still had years left on their posting in Krogga.

At the heart of the story is the concept of revival—the idea that even in a world where everything seems lost, there is always a chance for renewal.

As they evolve and unlock new abilities, they are forced to confront their deepest fears and desires, making choices that will determine the fate of their world.
Schinhofen's skillful world-building and character development shine throughout Aether's Revival, crafting a universe that feels as vast as it is dangerous. From the landscapes to the intricate systems that govern the world, every detail is meticulously crafted to pull readers deeper into the story. Yet, it’s the characters’ emotional arcs that truly resonate—readers will find themselves invested in their struggles, triumphs, and setbacks as they work to unravel the mysteries surrounding them.
With its blend of intense action, philosophical exploration, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Aether's Revival promises to be a series that challenges what readers know about reality, identity, and the power of choice. Whether you’re a fan of adventure, speculative fiction, or simply enjoy a well-told story that keeps you guessing, this series is bound to captivate and inspire.
