- Book Synopsis
- Yearning is the only compass you need to fly a way home. Two years after Ji-ji's miraculous flight on her own impossible wings, the Dream of Freedom has stalled. The Rising promised by Prophet Dreg has not occurred. Jiji's fellow seeds, living in bondage on plantings, had started to believe the legend of Flying Africans was more than just a myth enslaved people told themselves. But in a polarized nation, torn apart by a Civil War Sequel, faith is slippery. Ji-ji's quest to discover the truth behind her people's origin story will send her, Afarra, and the men they love on a perilous transatlantic pilgrimage to find answers to questions that haunt her: Were Wingchildren engineered by those who experimented on imported humans? Or is she part of an improbable myth? An ancient tribe of Flying Africans from the Cradle, who etched their own remarkable story into the stuff of dreams.
