Black Wings Beating

In the land of Uztar, where birds of prey are revered and falconry is deeply ingrained in culture and religion, twin siblings Brysen and Kylee navigate a precarious existence. Their family business is falconry, a sport Brysen excels at and dreams of mastering, while Kylee, despite possessing innate, powerful gifts for it, desperately wishes to escape its demands. Their lives are further complicated by the looming threat of war and a weighty debt left by their deceased father. When Brysen's boyfriend, Dymian, gets into trouble with the town's rulers, Brysen volunteers for a perilous quest to capture the legendary, elusive Ghost Eagle. This dangerous undertaking is his only chance to save Dymian and prove himself, but it's a task many have failed, often with their lives. Kylee, initially reluctant, eventually follows her brother into the treacherous mountains, driven by her fierce loyalty and a desire to protect him, even as she grapples with her own hidden past and guilt. The novel explores themes of sibling relationships, loyalty, the impact of abuse, and the complexities of heroism. The compelling aspect lies in its unique world-building centered around falconry, the nuanced portrayal of the twins' strained yet profound bond, and the unexpected twists and turns of their quest. As Brysen and Kylee face dangers in the mountains, they also confront hidden truths about their family and themselves, all while being pursued by those who seek power through the capture of the Ghost Eagle.
