I would first of all like to thank Hot Key Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to give my true and honest review on an ARC copy of this book.In a world where the flightless are ruled by those who can fly...
When her father dies just before her birthday harboring a family secret, seventeen year old Aderyn's not only finds herself the Protector of the domain of Atraty's, where your bloodline determines the type of bird you can transform into.
Aderyn whose ancestral bird is the swan has not been able to transform since a tragic accident many years ago, when she witnessed the cruel death of her mother, torn apart by hawks which have long since become extinct.
With her parents gone Aderyn finds herself at the mercy of an Uncle she has never met, a history she does not know, in a Court she has never attended.
Seeking revenge for the murder of her mother and the love she has for her, Aderyn heads to the heart of the Citadel ruled by her Uncle to seek answers to the truth of her mothers attack which also nearly destroyed her.
She will fight for to protect her domain, those she loves and her reputation but will she be able to fly again,
This is a strong start to a new YA fantasy series that has left me eagerly anticipating the second book in the series, sneakily added as a teaser at the end of this arc copy kindly provided by NetGalley and Hot Key Books. This contains delightfully described world building, dastardly political machinations and a hint of Royal drama, what more could you want other than a love interest who both rubs you up the wrong way and pulls you closer in the same breath.
Amazing loved every minute of it and hope to read the second in this series soon.
This is part of a new duology by the sister authors and after giving this book 4* I cannot wait to read the concluding part.
