What this book is about
The first Wind on Fire novel is set in Aramanth, a society where citizens are ranked by examinations and social status determines everything. When Kestrel rebels against the system, she and her twin brother Bowman must find the Wind Singer — an ancient instrument that can break the power of the oppressive Morah. Nicholson's MG fantasy dystopia has a quiet emotional power unusual for its genre.
