A hero grapples with effects of revolution in Fran Wilde's stirring new fantasy companion novel to the Norton Award winning Updraft.

"A fantastic follow-up to Updraft--I liked it better than its predecessor, particularly for what it says about the politics of fear and prejudice, and how giving people what they want isn't always the best thing." --Aliette de Bodard, award-winning author of House of Shattered Wings"A fantastic follow-up to Updraft--particularly for what it says about the politics of fear and prejudice, and how giving people what they want isn't always the best thing." --Locus Publications"A book that's impossible to put down. [Wilde has] planted herself firmly in the "authors to watch" category." --Andrew Liptak on Updraft"The world of the towers grown from bone, where residents strap on wings and soar the air currents, is captivating...Kirit's journey to find her place is satisfying, but the real draw is a world that readers will be anxious to revisit in future volumes of this exciting new series." --Library Journal, starred review, on Updraft
