Jessica Khoury brings her masterful world-building and emotional
depth to a brand-new fantasy series. In a world where everyone is
born with wings, stone monsters prowl the skies, hunting those who
dare to fly too high. In the Clandoms, everyone is born with wings,
with tight-knit communities formed around bird types: Jay, Falcon,
Crow. Ellie Meadows dreams of growing up to join the Goldwings --
the famed knights who defend all the people of the Clandoms. It was
a Goldwing, after all, who saved her life on that terrible day her
parents were killed. There's just one problem: Ellie is a Sparrow,
and the Goldwings are almost invariably picked from the higher
clans like Eagles and Ospreys. This rigid hierarchy means that
Ellie is destined to become a farmer. Determined to honor her
parents' memories and prove herself worthy of the Goldwings, Ellie
sets out on her own for the capital. But her journey will be
dangerous. Foul creatures called gargols lurk behind every cloud,
ready to slay anyone unlucky enough to be caught outside in a storm
-- just as Ellie's family was. Soon her path intertwines with a
colorful band of fellow outcasts, each with their own
aspirations... and their own secrets. Ellie's new friends offer not
just roadside companionship. They'll challenge her ideas of right,
wrong, and what truly makes a hero.
