A wingless girl’s dangerous bargain

Ivy’s longing to fly is bound up with her search for her missing mother and the limits of life underground. When disappearing piskeys and her sister’s disappearance force her to act, she accepts a faery’s offer to teach her flight in exchange for helping him escape the dungeon. That bargain carries personal risks as Ivy enters an unfamiliar world and investigates secrets about her family. The first volume combines fairy folklore with a coming-of-age quest shaped by loyalty, identity, and the costs of taking a chance.

Book overview

To save her people, a wingless girl must learn to fly.

As a piskey girl born without wings and raised underground, Ivy yearns for flight almost as much as she misses her long-lost mother. But the world outside the Delve is full of danger, and her dreams seem hopeless until she meets a mysterious faery who makes her an enticing offer: If Ivy helps him escape the Delve's dungeon, he'll teach her how to fly.

Freeing Richard could cost Ivy her reputation, perhaps even her life. But when her fellow piskeys start to disappear and her beloved little sister goes missing, Ivy has no choice but to take the risk.

Deadly threats and shocking revelations await Ivy as she ventures into a strange new world, uncovers long-buried secrets about her family's past, and finds that no one--not even herself--is entirely what they seem.
