Feathers (The Tales Trilogy, #2)

Feathers fell like rain from the sky. Ode was never meant to be born. An outcast from birth, he discovered how to control his unique, remarkable gift entirely on his own. Unlike the other people of his tribe, Ode can fly. Sometimes his body will shudder and shift, and then Ode will transform. He becomes a great white bird with feathers as pale as the snow. He becomes a swan. He can fly above the tribe's tepees and soar over the emerald forests of the Wild Lands. But even with his gift, he cannot save his family from the oncoming war. The Magical Cleansing is spreading across the realm, and strangers arrive from foreign lands bringing with them bloodshed and fear. With the help of his gift, Ode flees to a distant island where answers, Magic, and a girl with golden hair await him. He must be brave, and he must be wise. And he must never turn back. The exciting and much-anticipated second book in the Tales trilogy, Feathers is sure to keep fans of Marissa Meyer's Cinder series turning the pages as they journey through the magic world of the Western Realm.
