A disgraced pilot. A hidden world. A prophecy whispered on the wind.
Amelia “Ace” Thorne, grounded after a near-fatal crash, finds an unlikely sanctuary in Aerilon, a valley nestled within the clouds and home to the mythical Pegasi. Offered a lifeline as a flight instructor at the Aerilon Academy, Ace trades the sterile cockpit for the fragrant earthiness of redwood forests and cloud-kissed meadows. But Aerilon Academy is no ordinary flight school. Here, she must teach Pegasi foals, with personalities as vibrant as their iridescent wings, to navigate the aerial currents.
Her most challenging student is Nimbus Blackwood, the son of the formidable Sky King Boreas, whose crippling anxiety hides a potent, uncontrollable magic. Haunted by a prophecy foretelling a catastrophic storm, Nimbus is at its center — he could be the key to Aerilon’s salvation, or the catalyst for its destruction.
Ace’s efforts to help Nimbus are constantly thwarted by the Sky King’s icy prejudice and the subtle manipulations of Valerius, a charismatic Griffin instructor vying for power. As Ace and Boreas clash, an unexpected spark ignites, a dangerous attraction that defies the boundaries of their worlds. But their burgeoning connection becomes a target for Valerius’s ambition, and he’ll stop at nothing to drive a wedge between them, even if it means unleashing the storm’s devastating fury.
Caught in a web of betrayal and impending doom, Ace must confront her own demons and conquer the ghosts of her past. To save Nimbus, to save Aerilon, she must first reclaim her wings. The fate of a hidden world rests on her courage, her ingenuity, and the fragile bond she’s forged with a king who once saw her as the enemy.
