Blurb:
Newly graduated from the Training Tower, Idra expects to be assigned to perimeter watch or a city guard position. Instead, she's given the dubious post of bodyguard to Galen, a human inventor indentured to one of the Sky-born lords. Galen is as irritable as he is brilliant, and he's working on a secret project, something that could correct the power imbalance between the Sky-born and the humans.
As Idra spends time with Galen, her sympathy for the oppressed humans deepens, and she uncovers a terrible secret—one that the charismatic Sky-born ruler would kill to protect. Defending Galen from talent poachers and spies is dangerous enough; falling in love with him is forbidden. And helping him overthrow Sky-born supremacy could mean death for them both.
Favorite Character:
Galen, nerdy boys always get me.
Thoughts:
A different perspective in the same world of Savage Seas. It was nice to see the winged creatures. A bit dystopian with her cousin being the tyrant. It was nice to see winged characters at a disadvantage (being smaller and lighter weight than humans) but they had longer life spans. It was also and interesting take on the bodyguard romance. I wished their story could have had more to it. I wanted to spend more time with these characters.
