Drifting Dragons 1

LIFE IN THE CLOUDS

Mika is a draker on the airship Quin Zaza. He earns his livelihood hunting the whales of the sky—dragons! The beautiful beasts are flying treasure troves, providing food and materials, and the Quin Zaza is among the last draking vessels. Mika's not just a talented hunter; he's also a gourmand with a refined palate and a taste for the exotic.

But even with the lively crew of the Quin Zaza as his family, the nomadic life of a draker can be lonely and dangerous...
