{Everyone thinks they're normal, then suddenly you get wings at the most inconvenient of times.} Ester thinks she's pretty normal. She avoids people for the most part, boys especially. She has convinced herself that perfect boys only exist in books, and so spends most of her time reading. When her teacher asks her to tutor Toby Parsard, she thinks her life has ended. And in a way, it has. Soon the thing that she dreaded most has happened to her: she's in love. However, the magic of the first kiss isn't quite what they had expected. When they both sprout wings, they are forced to move back to Aves, a place where corruption has ruined the once carefree lives of the bird-men. What can a flock of teens do to change the world?
