- comes
- a
- timeless
- tale
- that
- brilliantly
- renders
- the
- struggle
- between
- the
- ironbound
- world
- of
- tradition
- and
- a
- rebellious
- soul
- seeking
- to
- prove
- the
- power
- of
- a
- dream.Among
- the
- scattered
- islands
- that
- make
- up
- the
- water
- world
- of
- Windhaven,
- no
- one
- holds
- more
- prestige
- than
- the
- silver-winged
- flyers,
- romantic
- figures
- who
- cross
- treacherous
- oceans,
- braving
- shifting

- and
- sudden
- storms,
- to
- bring
- news,
- gossip,
- songs,
- and
- stories
- to
- a
- waiting

- of
- Amberly,
- a
- fisherman’s
- daughter,
- wants
- nothing
- more
- than
- to
- soar
- on
- the
- currents
- high
- above
- Windhaven.
- So
- she
- challenges
- tradition,
- demanding
- that
- flyers
- be
- chosen
- by
- merit
- rather
- than
- inheritance.
- But
- even
- after
- winning
- that
- bitter
- battle,
- Maris
- finds
- that
- her
- troubles
- are
- only
- beginning.
- Now
- a
- revolution
- threatens
- to
- destroy
- the
- world
- she
