About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is grappling with the anxiety of being replaced or the intense fear of losing a core support system. It is a powerful choice for adolescents navigating complex romantic feelings, peer group shifting, or the pressure of meeting impossible standards set by others. The story follows Max and her flock of winged children as they face a prophecy that her soulmate, Fang, will die, while a genetically engineered perfect match named Dylan is introduced to take his place. It explores the conflict between choosing what is comfortable and familiar versus what the world tells us is perfect. While the setting is a high stakes sci-fi adventure, the heart of the book deals with the heavy emotional reality of saying goodbye and the resilience required to maintain one's identity under extreme external pressure. It is most appropriate for readers aged 12 to 17 who enjoy fast paced action but are ready for more mature themes of mortality and romantic devotion.
