Call of the crow (skyborn #2)

in the clandoms, everyone is born with wings, though not all the clans are treated equally. ellie meadows longed to become a goldwing—the knights who protect the people—but because she came from the humble sparrow clan, her dream faced almost insurmountable resistance.

nox hatcher has it even worse. nox is a crow, a shattered clan. they can't own businesses or run organizations, all due to mysterious betrayal made hundreds of years ago. nox has had to steal and scrape just to survive, but a single goal has kept him going, even when it felt like all the clandoms were against him. years ago, his mother was imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. now, finally, nox is going to save her.

but there’s more to nox’s story than even he realizes, a secret that’s been kept buried for centuries. and the king of the clandoms himself is so desperate to conceal it that he’s sent a ruthless assassin after nox and his friends.

the four young fugitives must watch every shadow. if they aren’t careful, they’ll be cut down before they can rescue anyone.
