In a world bound for an epic flood, Natasha, a Principal Flyer in the court's Royal Flyers, a lauded fleet of aerial silk performers, will do anything to save her family, but unbeknownst to her, her newest recruit has plans of her own.
In a world bound for an epic flood, only a chosen few are guaranteed safe passage into the new world once the waters recede. The Kostrovian royal court will be saved, along with their guards. The fate of the court's Royal Flyers, a lauded fleet of aerial silk performers, is less certain. Principal Flyer Natasha Koskinen will do anything to save the only family she's ever known. Her newest recruit, Ella Neves, is driven less by her desire to survive the floods than her thirst for revenge. With the end of the world looming, and dark secrets about the Kostrovian court coming to light, Ella and Natasha can either give in to despair-- or find a new reason to live. -- adapted from jacket.
