The bone towers that once soared through the skies now lie in ruins. Kirit Densira stands amid the wreckage of everything she knew. Her mother is gone. Her home has fallen. The open air that defined her world has become a prison of debris and dust. Nat Brokenwings moves through the same devastation, driven by a different purpose. Before the uprising divided them, he was Kirit's brother. Now he fights to protect what remains of his family as their world dies around them. The collapse has scattered their people across unfamiliar ground. Old grievances feel small against the weight of extinction. Kirit and Nat must put aside the rebellion that split them apart. Their community needs them both if anyone is going to survive what comes next. The bone city gave them wings once. Now they must learn to live without the sky.
