A new life in Maximum Ride’s shadow

Set in a post-apocalyptic New York City, *Hawk* introduces a 17-year-old who has survived without knowing her family or even her real name. Her life changes when she is drawn into a danger tied to the legacy of Maximum Ride, the winged girl remembered from a decade earlier. The setup connects a new protagonist’s uncertain identity with the lingering story of an earlier fight to save the world, while making the safety of Hawk’s home part of the conflict. The premise brings together dystopian survival, a missing past and a threat that is explicitly not a rescue attempt.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in dystopian fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about loners or outcasts navigating questions of identity and belonging.
  • Readers familiar with the Maximum Ride premise, or curious about a new character connected to its legacy.

Book overview

In this dark dystopian tale, 17-year-old Hawk is growing up hard and fast in post-apocalyptic New York City--until a perilous destiny forces her to take flight and protect her home.

Where is Maximum Ride?

Ten years ago a girl with wings fought to save the world. But then she disappeared.

Now she's just a fading legend, remembered only in stories.


Hawk doesn't know her real name. She doesn't know who her family was, or where they went. The only thing she remembers is that she was told to wait on a specific street corner, at a specific time, until her parents came back for her.

She stays under the radar to survive ... until a destiny that's perilously close to Maximum Ride's forces her to take flight. Someone is coming for her.

But it's not a rescue mission. It's an execution.
