Aimee Wood has spent her life as an outcast. Born with patches of colourless skin, she’s endured insults, cruelty, and isolation in the city of Kierell. But when the last place she can call home is taken from her, she’s left with only one desperate choice.

The only way to join them is to survive the deadly ascent to their eyrie… and prove she belongs among warriors who may see only her strange appearance and not the girl beneath.
