Alex London, at one time a journalist reporting from conflict zones and refugee camps, has written books for adults (One Day The Soldiers Came: Voices of Children in War), children (Dog Tags series; An Accidental Adventure series) and teens (Proxy). The first book in the Skybound Saga, Black Wings Beating was an NBC Today Show Book Club Pick. In Gold Wings Rising (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) the final installment of Alex London’s Skybound Saga, Kylee and Brysen must fight for their lives and their humanity. After Red Skies Falling, the war on the ground has ended, but the war with the sky has just begun. Now, the tug-of-war between love and power begins to fray, threatening bonds of siblinghood and humanity alike. Kirkus Reviews praised how “this final entry effectively ties up many of the loose threads while maintaining a constant wingbeat of danger and intrigue.”
