Summary | Dusk can't help it. From the moment his father pushed him off the tree, he has yearned to flap. But in a colony where being different means being shunned--or worse--Dusk knows he must glide like the rest of them and keep his secret to himself. Carnassial also has a hidden desire. And when he finally gives in to his instincts, a vicious predator is born. He knows the world is changing, and he's determined that his kind will take over as rulers of the beasts. The battle for survival--and the future--has begun. |
