In a world ruled by the enigmatic Celestials, only the Gifted can ascend to the skies as True Pilots, forging bonds with the mighty Leviathans. Effie's older sister, Vanna, is the pride of Volturnus-a fearless dragoon and newly minted lieutenant-yet it is Effie who burns with ambition, even as her own Gift remains stubbornly absent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Effie's closest friend, Kai, suddenly manifests his powers and is swept into Vanna's orbit, Effie's longing curdles into desperation.
