Heir of the First Tower

Set in Pirth'Vee Grah, a world where one stays on top of the food chain by flying higher than the creatures that would eat your wings as an appetizer, the technologically superior Ch'Hota and warmongering V'Jeeta clash over a precious resource while the altruistic Pra'Acheen takes neither side.

Forced to choose between the freedom to pursue a cure to White Claw, and his loyalty to father and flock, V'Jeeta High Prince-and budding alchemist-R'Venin must sacrifice more than he ever conjured before he can show his feathers in the Granite Spires again. And, after a lifetime hiding among the branches, Ka'Ala Ka'Ua-the last known survivor of the mythical Gir'Agit-is saved from solitude after she's blown into the nest of strangers from the Bluewoods. The Windfather has her course laid out, but does she possess the faith to follow?

Can R'venin bring an end to the war and peace to the flocks? Can Ka'Ala trust the hearts of someone whose ancestors enslaved her own?

Only The Heir of the First Tower can answer these questions and more.

"This book will help you to escape the mundane world for a while, but it can do more than that. It can teach you the importance of love and the joys of serving others. It can do this all in the background while the story entertains you with its complex societies and a range of emotions to keep you reading."
