Black Wings Beating

Alex London

Book 1 of Skybound Series

Bryson and Kylee are twins living in a world where falconry and bird training is the basis of wealth, power and nobility. Living in the Six Villages, the seat of bird trapping and training, they had a deadbeat dad who is now dead and a religious fanatic mom for whom anything sky related is blasphemy. Bryson pushes the limits, but really has no talents in falconry. Kylee has "the voice", has the hollow tongue in her, which allows her to communicate with birds, but she does not want it. Circumstances drive them to a high risk trek, where they encounter the warriors of the nobility, underworld gangs and the owl mothers. And in the end, Bryson and Kylee have solidified their twin bond, love for each other and begun the process of self discovery. With falconry as the core, this is an atypical fantasy world, and the read is fast enough to be a small investment.
