Hey /Lit/ I was wondering if some of you might be able to help me find a book I've been looking for. I've been looking for it for about four years now? I checked it out from the library about 2007-2010, it was hardcover. The problem that has impeded my search the most is that the plot (from what I can recall) was sky pirates run around and do politics. It was the first part of a series, but it didn't get much popularity as I haven't yet found it on any lists.
What I know for certain:
The main character was male
The city floated, there was a thick cover of clouds that separated the sky from the ground and it was believed that if you went below the clouds, you would die.
There was a nunnery or city that was razed to the ground in the final chapters, like it was brutally described (or it seemed brutal to me, I would've been 11-14 during this period and honestly? Pretty sheltered)
What I'm iffy on:
I'm pretty sure the nuns, priests were silent
The main cast of characters might have went below the clouds at one point, which catalyzed the climax
The cover was tan, with reds and blues. I'm pretty sure the style was similar to something drawn by Tom Kidd.
With all of this, I'm eighty percent sure it was steampunk, or something similar. I know that gets a bad rep around here and I get it, but I'm not particularly looking for this because it was good, but nostalgia is a powerful motivator.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
