The Dominion of Atalanta is at war. But for eighteen-year-old Aris, the fighting is nothing more than a distant nightmare, something she watches on news vids from the safety of her idyllic seaside town. Then her boyfriend, Calix, is drafted into the Military, and the nightmare becomes a dangerous reality.
Left behind, Aris has nothing to fill her days. Even flying her wingjetβthe thing she loves most, aside from Calixβfeels meaningless without him by her side. So when sheβs recruited to be a pilot for an elite search-and-rescue unit, she leaps at the chance, hoping sheβll be stationed near Calix. But thereβs a catch: She must disguise herself as a man named Aristos. There are no women in the Atalantan Military, and there never will be.
Aris gives up everything to find Calix: her home. Her family. Even her identity. But as the war rages on, Aris discovers sheβs fighting for much more than her relationship. With each injured person she rescues and each violent battle she survives, Aris is becoming a true soldierβand the best flyer in the Atalantan Military. Sheβs determined to save her Dominion . . . or die trying.
For fans of Divergent , Code Name Verity , and The 100 , Rebel Wing is an epic sci-fi adventure that explores just how far one girl will go for love and country.
This is a new release of the previously self-published title Shattered Veil.
From the Author
I am so excited to share Rebel Wing with you. This book is so special to me...I wrote the first draft when my husband was deployed for a year to a war zone. Aris and this story were born out of my longing and worry for him...and my desire to be with him, no matter the cost.
The story became about so much more than that, though. Questions of identity, political accountability, how far a person will go to do the right thing....and how far they'll go for the people they love.
I hope you enjoy!
