"That rare bird, the follow-up to a highly praised first novel that doesn't just equal its predecessor's accomplishments, but exceeds them." —Locus on Cloudbound
A City of living bone towers crumbles to the ground and danger abounds. Kirit Densira has lost everything she loved the most—her mother, her home, and the skies above. Nat Brokenwings—once Kirit's brother long before the rebellion tore them apart—is still trying to save his family in the face of catastrophe. They will need to band together once more to ensure not just their own survival, but that of their entire community.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Spanning the ground and sky in a city of spires where people sail between their towers grown from living bone on wings of silk, the conclusion to Wilde's fantastical trilogy (after Cloudbound) takes on violent political divisions, ecological desolation, and the imminent death of the only world the characters have ever known. Unaware of the extent of the danger threatening the bone spires, political leader Macal is trying to breathe life into his desperate community. Below, a young woman named Kirit and her companions have survived a fall from the sky only to discover that their city's progenitor, an unimaginably giant creature, is being crushed and starved by the weight of the towers. When disaster hastens the city's demise, some of the fallen begin to climb, hoping to save those who still live above, but the solution they devise for evacuation seems needlessly complicated; there's no plausible reason that most of the citizens can't simply glide down on their own wings. Despite this flaw, fans of the series will be satisfied by its conclusion.
