House of Rising Sands

HOUSE OF RISING SANDS is an origin story preceding the events of HOUSE OF BEATING WINGS, yet should be read after book 1.
For five hundred years, my people and I have been locked on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean because of my mother's cruel magic.
Although I dreamed of escaping our prison, I never imagined a day would come when I could.
But that day came, and with it, a destiny that bound me to a winged beast of a man.
A Crow.
My Crow.
