"Up until this, I had only been a girl with pie in her hands."  Catarina Wynr is a princess with a dark secret buried in her blood, one that shocks even her on the night she saves her parents from an assassination attempt. What follows is a sprawling, action-packed story full of betrayals, battles, corruption, and love as Catarina wrestles with the question of whether one is born evil, or made that way. Writer A. J. Yang is a rising talent to watch! -Lillian Li, Author of Number One Chinese Restaurant. 
Young, troubled Catarina Winyr, princess of the powerful kingdom of Pheorirya and only heir to her parents’ throne, can’t help but wonder about the winged demons in the old painting in her father’s study - frightening, cruel, battle-worn, but swooping down upon their human enemies with power and grace. She wishes she, too, could fly. But, when Catarina ascends the throne, trouble erupts around her faster than the gift of fire her parents can summon, yet she, seemingly, cannot. Suddenly, a threat once held at bay is invading again and there is no where to run it seems, no where to fly, where one’s demons can’t follow.
