[img_assist|nid=9330|title=|desc=|link=popup|align=left|width=423|height=640]

“Welcome to a world of wind and bone, songs and silence, betrayal and courage.

Kirit Densira cannot wait to pass her wingtest and begin flying as a trader by her mother’s side, being in service to her beloved home tower and exploring the skies beyond.

When Kirit inadvertently breaks Tower Law, the city’s secretive governing body, the Singers, demand that she become one of them instead. In an attempt to save her family from greater censure, Kirit must give up her dreams to throw herself into the dangerous training at the Spire, the tallest, most forbidding tower, deep at the heart of the City.

As she grows in knowledge and power, she starts to uncover the depths of Spire secrets. Kirit begins to doubt her world and its unassailable Laws, setting in motion a chain of events that will lead to a haunting choice, and may well change the city forever-if it isn’t destroyed outright.” Amazon summary

 

STARRED REVIEW — Extraordinary worldbuilding and cascading levels of intrigue make Wilde’s debut fantasy novel soar.  … The setting is marvelously unusual, a city grown from living bone and populated by everyday people who have left the ground far behind…. This well-written and fascinating exploration of a strange land is an extremely promising start for an exciting new writer. ” – Publisher’s Weekly June 2015 

4.8 out of 5 star rating on Amazon. Available in a variety of formats.
