Aeravi and the Lighthouse Above the Rain
A 96-page sky adventure in two connected parts, where Aeravi must repair broken weather and confront the Heart of Stillness.
→Inside the story
Bravery can begin while the fear is still there.
Nine-year-old Aeravi lives in Braven Bay, where an ancient lighthouse governs the weather above the clouds. When the sky breaks apart, he climbs toward its brass machinery carrying an old copper key—even though great heights frighten him.
Beside him are Aeli, a palm-sized golden living spark, and Kivo, a swift with turquoise feathers and a golden chest stripe. Their journey crosses the ten Copper Rings of Weather, storm courts, frozen skies, clockwork chambers, and the schemes of the masked Veylor Quell.
Part One — The Broken Sky and Part Two — The Heart of Stillness form one continuous 96-page illustrated adventure about courage, responsibility, accepting help, and protecting a world whose weather has fallen out of balance.
Questions to explore after reading

A small activity to carry the story further
Make a simple weather dial with sun, wind, rain, fog and storm. Use it to describe how a character feels at different moments, then choose what might help the weather become easier to carry.
