In this dark dystopian tale, 17-year-old Hawk is growing up hard and fast in post-apocalyptic New York Cityβuntil a perilous destiny forces her to take flight and protect her home.
Where is Maximum Ride?
_Ten years ago a girl with wings fought to save the world. But then she disappeared.
Now she's just a fading legend, remembered only in stories._
Hawk doesn't know her real name. She doesn't know who her family was, or where they went. The only thing she remembers is that she was told to wait on a specific street corner, at a specific time, until her parents came back for her.
She stays under the radar to survive . . . until a destiny that's perilously close to Maximum Ride's forces her to take flight. Someone is coming for her.
But it's not a rescue mission. It's an execution.
