Aislinn Blake, age fifteen, has been able to fly for as long as she can remember. She possesses the wings of a peregrine falcon, fourteen feet across, that allow her to slice through the air at up to two hundred miles per hour. For Aislinn, flying is life's greatest joy... until it turns into a nightmare. The arrival of a mysterious girl marks a turning point in Aislinn's life, and suddenly she must run from everything she has ever known to escape those who want her dead. A cataclysmic chain of events has been set in motion in The Winged, the epic first chapter of The Champions series.

13-year-old Morgan has stumbled upon something strange: a passage to a secret world. Myths, monsters, and all the creatures she had ever dreamed of existed in an alternate dimension known as the Crystal Realm. But living a life of fantasy is definitely not for the faint of heart. Morgan and four of her friends gain the ability to control the elements, and are pulled into a quest of good vs. evil to overthrow the Enforcers. As if that isn't enough, they must also save the entire realm of Dimensia from the clutches of the Fallonine - a super-race that was the product of a freak accident and has since spread like a virus. One mistake could cost them not only their own lives, but the lives of millions across the globe. An ancient prophecy. A destiny of epic proportions. The ultimate sacrifice. When the fate of the entire world is resting on the shoulders of five kids, nothing is as it seems...
