Even his relationship with best friend, Jules, is getting complicated. When the first twister in months appears from nowhere and an airship emerges from the spout, Dom's world is turned upside down. Its pilots are explorers who make Dom an offer beyond his wildest imagination. But the visitors are also hiding a terrible secret. Can Dom uncover the truth and make the right decision before everything he cares for is destroyed?
