About this book

Book Summary

The second book in Ann Sei Lin'sRebel Skies fantasy YA series, set in a world of flying ships, sky cities and rebel uprisings. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Lim, Kalynn Bayron and the films of Studio Ghibli.

Kurara has barely escaped the grasp of Princess Tsukimi. Reeling from her Crafter mentor's grim betrayal, Kurara and her friends are desperate to catch up with their old airship, even if it means they have to do it on foot. But after everything she's been through, Kurara refuses to give up on understanding and freeing the shikigami, origami creatures enchanted to life, nor will she stop at anything to understand her mysterious past, no matter who tries to interfere ... or what dark truths about her role in the war may surface, the farther south she goes. Her goal is the Grand Stream, where Suzaku, the greatest shikigami of all, likes in furious wait.

But Kurara isn't the only one searching for Suzaku. Traveling through forests, seas and the ruins of an underground Crafter city, there is no shortage of enemies who wish to control Kurara and the shikigami of the world for their own ends. When a bloody confrontation leads to horrifying revelations about the true nature of shikigami and Kurara's past, Kurara will need all the support she can muster just to carry on.

In this sequel to the breathless Rebel Skies, readers will return to the soaring heights, incredible twists and dark depths of Ann Sei Lin's vivid fantasy world.
