All That Soars

Ren Belling made a vow to save her friends.



Now she's stuck in her mother's hostile court, expected to play the role of Ariadne Dawnpaw's beautiful heir, the girl worth tearing the Divide apart to find. But the elixir demands a cost that she isn't willing to pay and she bends until she nearly breaks.



Refusing a crown that is hers by birthright and a court that might have been home in another life, Ren feels utterly alone. Until she finds companionship from an unlikely source. She isn't willing to trust again, not yet. But her heart is more willing to give itself away than she logically wants to admit.



Backed into corners again and again by her own mother's scheming, Ren lashes out in any way she can. And when that desperation sends her spiraling, she reaches out with the only thing that remains.



Faith.
