Description
Dive into the spellbinding world of Wings, the critically acclaimed debut novel from Aprilynne Pike that took the Young Adult fantasy genre by storm. This New York Times Bestseller introduces Laurel Sewell, a seemingly ordinary girl whose life is turned upside down by an impossible discovery: she is not human, but a faerie sent to the human world to guard the sacred gates of Avalon.
Fifteen-year-old Laurel has always felt different, preferring the quiet solitude of the forest to the bustle of high school. But when a pair of beautiful, delicate petals sprout from her back, what she first dismisses as a strange rash quickly spirals into an unbelievable truth revealed by a mysterious, alluring boy named Tamani. As Laurel grapples with the realization that she belongs to the secret, ancient world of the fae, she is pulled into a dangerous conflict, forced to choose between the human life she loves and the destiny that calls her back to Avalon.
Wings is a lush, beautifully written novel that expertly weaves together elements of paranormal romance, thrilling action, and imaginative faerie mythology. Perfect for readers who enjoy deep world-building and a compelling love triangle, this first installment sets the stage for an unforgettable series where ancient magic meets modern life. Experience the book that cemented Aprilynne Pike’s status as a leading voice in YA fantasy.
