Jessica Khoury brings her masterful world-building and      emotional depth to an exciting 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.
