Synopsis
High above the sea, floats the pristine city of the Heliana. Home to winged-lion shapeshifters―the Leonodai―and protected from the world of humans by an elite group of warriors, the Heliana has only known peace.
After years of brutal training, seventeen-year-old Rowan is ready to prove her loyalty to the city and her people to become one of the Leonodai warriors. But before Rowan can take the oath, a deadly disease strikes the city’s children. Soon the warriors―including two of Rowan’s closest friends―are sent on a dangerous mission to find a fabled panacea deep within enemy lands.
Left behind, Rowan learns a devastating truth that could compromise the mission and the fate of the Heliana itself. She must make a decision: stay with the city and become a warrior like she always dreamed, or risk her future in an attempt to save everyone she loves. Whatever Rowan decides, she has to do it fast, because time is running out, and peace can only last so long…
Review
Thank you immensely to TBR and Beyond Tours and author Shannon Price for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Check below for the rest of the Tour Schedule!
A story about shapeshifting warriors is something that has never even crossed my mind before. The action and adventure were perfectly balanced and allowed for a quick pace within the plot. I really enjoyed seeing the setting of Heliana in contrast to the human world below. It was very interesting to see the lore behind the humans being the presumed evil beings in this story. Rowan’s journey to find a cure for the people that she loves was a great plot device to push the story forward and I loved the sense of purpose it gave Rowan. I would definitely recommend this quick read to fantasy lovers in middle grade and beyond.
