Hennelyn, the fourteen-year-old daughter of a soldier, has lived for two years in a fenced fort near her majestic Kurin mountain range, watching as her father, a general, tries to conquer the indigenous population.
Yes, Hennelyn did live there. Until she betrayed her own father and her adopted brother, Arcmas.
Now seen as traitors and outcasts, she and her good friend, fourteen-year-old Nik, are fleeing for their lives, guided by their new allies, the local Bunjis. Hennelyn fears the soldiers, but her greatest concern is Arcmas. Trained as a soldier at fifteen and chosen specifically for his special abilities, Hennelyn knows the brother she loves is now her worst enemy.
Will the Starkhons catch them? Or will Arcmas find them first? What will happen in that huge hulking ruin – the Tower of the Deep?
What Readers Are Saying:
"I was delighted to read the second volume of the Tower of the Deep series, titled The Winged Warrior, by Heidi Richardson. The action, unpredictability, depth, adventure, suspense, bravery, mystery, deception, manipulation, and more kept me on the edge of my seat. In this book, I saw firsthand the battle between familial bond and loyalty to the oath of military service. General Tai and Arcmas walked the tightrope of choice when their daughter and sister led the enemy camp in defying them. Would you uphold an oath or obey a military command at the expense of your kin’s wellbeing? I loved the brilliant plot and development of this book. Heidi covered all the bases, and my absolute favorites were Laria, Brinkle, Nik, and Hennelyn. They were courageous, kind, and resourceful. Will there be retribution from the Emperor? Thumbs up to Heidi!"
