When the skies hold secrets and time is running out, one daring girl must race against the clock to save her city. Piper isn't your average adventurer. She's quick-thinking, fearless, and ready to take on any challenge-especially when it involves a mysterious code, a stolen treasure, and a countdown that could change everything. When a cryptic message from a clever parrot points to a hidden plot high above the city streets, Piper is pulled into a whirlwind of rooftop chases, daring flights, and dangerous secrets. From bustling marketplaces to dizzying airship docks, Piper teams up with an unexpected crew of friends-a gadget-making genius, a fearless pilot, and a feisty parrot who knows more than he's telling. Together, they must solve the puzzle, dodge shadowy enemies, and uncover the truth before the final countdown ends in chaos. Every rooftop could hide a clue, every alley might hold a trap, and every choice could decide the city's fate.
