Garrick Hale has spent his life branded as the powerless son of an executed traitor. But when he defies the king to save a falling child, his father’s forbidden gravity hook awakens—and carves the first of seven deadly Grooves into his flesh. Now the Crown wants Garrick captured, and the ruthless Warden Malrec Voss knows a secret Garrick cannot remember: his blood was used to create the Hollow Crown, a weapon capable of turning him into a living anchor for the world. Hunted across floating kingdoms alongside the winged weather-reader Ilyra and his royal rival Riven Vale, Garrick must rise from Unmarked laborer to Worldbearer, expose the truth about his father, and master each brutal level of his power. Because the Crown has kept civilization in the sky by chaining ancient giants—and when those chains begin to break, entire worlds will fall.
