Humanity has evolved to withstand the ravaged atmosphere and planet after The Light abandoned the Ancients to die in The Age of Darkness. Their senses and appearances are altered to defend against massive creatures who conquer the top of the food chain. Some, like the Lightborn Fae in Sunken Spires, share bonds with these gargantuan beings, riding them to defend the skies or scrape out a living in the Mudlands, graze fields in the Riverlands, and patrol the mountainous region of the Lostlands. When Lightborn Fae Kalu's Choosing Ceremony is interrupted by strangers with reforged metal armor riding great winged beasts made of obsidian scales, they threaten the lives of his entire clan all because they are hunting someone... Wes. Kalu's beloved older brother. With the threat hanging over his head, and armored strangers stationed in Sunken Spires, Kalu decides that he must find his brother and warn him of the monster riders hunting him. Chasing Wes's tail is harder than Kalu realizes, even with the help of allies, both trusted and not. When their path leads through ruins of the Ancients that unearth secrets of a world reclaimed, they must face the truth that The Light may abandon them again, ending all life, and it is up to this unlikely gang of Dwellers to save the planet from annihilation... again. 'Windrider' blends the action-adventure of 'Children of Blood and Bone' and 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', set in a post-apocalyptic Earth over 5,000 years in the future. Inspired by 'The Shannara Chronicles', 'Horizon: Zero Dawn' and 'Princess Mononoke', this novel wields themes of Light and Dark, Metal and Life, while addressing real-world issues like climate change, and the disastrous effects of our ignorance towards it. As a character-driven story, 'Windrider' spotlights an #ownvoices gay romance and the intensity of anxiety, responsibility, hope, love, and found-family.
