The Skybornes Influence
The world has changed. The Great Families are no longer in power. Queen Nix of the Hands of Tarot has been stripped of her title and incarcerated. The League of Cities has been formed to provide a new line of defense to the smaller tribal nations.

Not without consequences, though. Another of the original Great Families has been destroyed.

As the new leaders rise from the ashes, a new threat comes to light; something no one saw coming, something that had been lurking under the surface of their society for generations.

The Skyborne.

As they discover just how deep the Skyborne’s influences are, they realize the war they thought they’d been fighting . . . wasn’t the real one.

    Democratic leadership requires an even playing ground where the input of all parties involved matters and is respected. Conversely, cultivating an environment as Leites and Wolfe propose of total authority as demonstrated in the classroom example does not promote calm and order, but instead chaos. Similar to the war times created in Northern Ireland by the British Army run by a tyrannical leader; false hopes of controlling the Catholic community by force was quickly realized not to be an effective strategy. As Gladwell illustrates further in the example provided in this chapter in regard to the Brownsville teens the strategy used by the new police chief Jaffe, showing human empathy and compassion then allowed for a direct feeling from the struggling primarily African American juvenile delinquents of relatedness.…
