Kidnapped as an infant, Aleeya has spent her life as a slave to the Temple of Nesha with her wings bound and spirit unbroken. Her mapmaking skills and the will of the gods have kept her relatively safe in this foreign city, but her luck runs out when her escape plans are revealed, prompting her master to sell her.

Just before the sale is completed, slave smugglers kidnap Aleeya from the temple for reasons they refuse to share. They free her wings but deliver her into the clutches of a religious cult whose future hinges on their fantastical belief about her mapmaking abilities.

Worse yet, the man she's loved from afar for years has decided to throw away his entire life to rescue her, and her foolish temple brother has tagged along. Now, she has more than just herself to worry about.

All Aleeya wanted was to go home and find her parents. Can she rise to the demands of her captors and find her way, even though the land of her birth is farther away than ever? And can she save her loved ones from themselves?

Inspired by Roman mythology and culture, readers who enjoy fantasy adventure will love Aleeya's trials and journey of self-discovery.
