Welcome to Serinthia

You’ve found the online home of Kazen Dayl and the Admiral of the Air, an action-adventure novel that’s equal parts steampunk epic, wartime saga, coming-of-age drama, and political thriller. At age 16, Kazen Dayl finds himself kicked out of school for a fight that he didn’t start. His parents send him away to avoid the threat of impending war, but his journey to safety takes increasingly harrowing turns. Kazen makes dangerous enemies, and perhaps even more dangerous friends, among them a teenaged quack doctor, an outlawed airship crew, poachers, mercenaries, monks, and a mysterious young aviatrix. Along the way, he’ll discover a long-lost poem, a legendary giant salamander, and a train full of gold.
