Description

In the thrillingmasterful (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) conclusion to the Wings of Ebony duology, which #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicole Yoon calls bold, inventive, big-hearted, and deeply perceptive, Rue makes her final stand to reclaim her peoples stolen magic.

Rue has no memory of how she ended up locked in a basement prison without her magic or her allies. But shes a girl from East Row. And girls from East Row dont give up. Girls from East Row pick themselves back up when they fall. Girls from East Row break themselves out.

But getting free and finding her friends is only half the battle. Rue vows that when she reunites with them, she will find a way to return the magic that the Chancellor has stolen from her fathers people. Yet even on Yiyo Peak, Rue is a misfit; with half a foot back in Houston and a heart that is half human, half god, shes not sure shes the right person to lead the fight to reclaim a glorious past.

When a betrayal sends her into a tailspin, Rue must decide who to trust and how to be the leader that her people deserve, because if she doesnt, it isnt just Yiyo that will be destroyedit will be Rue herself.
