A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally bestselling Mistborn series, comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity&apos;s future. Spensa&apos;s world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what&apos;s left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa&apos;s dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father&apos;s--a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa&apos;s chances of attending flight school at slim to none. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars. Praise for Skyward : A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year " Startling revelations and stakes-raising implications ...Sanderson plainly had a ball with this nonstop, highflying opener, and readers will too.
