DESCRIPTION

“Aprilynne Pike's WINGS is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds."
  --- Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga

Laurel was mesmerized, staring at the pale things with wide eyes. They were terrifyingly beautiful --- too beautiful for words. Laurel turned to the mirror again, her eyes on the hovering petals that floated beside her head. They looked almost like wings. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.
