White Feather (Protectors of Xil #1)

Sword. Shard. Book. Arrow. The trials of an apprentice knightsage are brutal—especially if she can’t fly.

Princess Alelle dreams of becoming a Protector of Xil, joining the elite warrior spellcasters, the unrivaled defenders of a world polluted with wild magic and overrun by mutants. But a catastrophic fall in her infancy left her terrified of heights—flightless in a society that takes fierce pride in the power of their wings. More than just a personal failure, her disability is a dangerous weakness, a stain on her royal line that her father’s enemies are eager to exploit.

With no hope of passing the trials, her very existence a threat to her father’s throne, Alelle’s search for a cure leads to dark revelations. Her future might well rely on abilities long hidden, her destiny on the mercy of a meddling goddess.

But when the king’s enemies use her to spring their trap, Alelle is caught in an all-or-nothing race to unlock her gifts, outwit her fate, and conquer the trials. Success could redeem a lifetime’s humiliation. Failure brings deadly consequences for her entire family.

Dive into a complete character-driven trilogy perfect for fans of an immersive new world that starts with deep worldbuilding and flawed heroes, accelerates to fast action, then rises to world-shattering stakes. Packed with breathtaking swordplay, intricate elemental magic, capricious deities, and a touch of clean romance, you'll be riveted by Alelle's desperate fight for Xil.
