The Anchor

Etheria is a city in the clouds where happiness grants weightlessness, and sorrow turns a person into stone. In this world, everyone strives to soar, for weight is a brand of shame. But ten-year-old Tik is hopelessly "heavy." While others drift and glide, he is bolted to the ground by his unchanging thirty kilograms. When the steel chains holding the city above the abyss begin to snap and the skies fill with a toxic mist, a terrifying truth emerges: Etheria is drowning in its own falsehood.
Tik is the only one capable of standing firm in the chaos-but is the "outcast boy" ready to become the anchor for those who spent their lives despising him?Where others fear to fall, he is the only one who knows how to stand.
