The Sky Palace

Thirty-nine thousand feet above the Pacific, the world’s most luxurious aircraft becomes a gilded cage of betrayal and murder. Former Interpol analyst Layla Al-Rashid accepts a job protecting a glamorous cryptocurrency entrepreneur aboard the Skyborne Palace, an airborne palace for the ultra-rich. Eight passengers, each with secrets worth killing for. One captain who may not be what he seems. And a flight path designed to keep them utterly cut off from the world below. But Layla soon realizes she isn’t there to guard her client—she’s the real target. The passengers share a sinister link: all of them were crippled by her past investigations into financial crime. Drugged, cornered, and forced into an “enhanced interrogation” that dredges up the death of her partner, Layla must fight to survive while trapped thousands of miles from land. What begins as a private security gig spirals into an international sting operation, a showdown with ghosts from her past, and a revelation that her enemies may stretch into the very agencies she once trusted. The Sky Palace is a jet-fueled thriller of paranoia, espionage, and revenge—where the only way to land alive is to expose the truth at 39,000 feet.
