He’s insane, pushing her out of an airplane at 14,000 feet. At camp, Sparrow trains competitively for what she always dreamed of but never thought possible. In deadly sky trials, she thinks she might just die, but the sky is so addictive. When a vicious cult of Raptors begins harvesting the best fledglings to join them, Sparrow must decide whether to hide her unique abilities for flight, or fight.
