City of Scorched Wings

The young warrior Mei, the heir to the king, has spent her entire life preparing to ascend to the Ashen Throne. She is the fastest flyer the soaring city of Elidor has ever known. But when the king dies, the lord's rune appears not on her, but on the forehead of a mysterious secrets merchant from the slums named Luan. And now the misfortune is – it is Mei who must help him learn to wield his newly acquired power. She takes on this task very reluctantly, but at some point realizes that the success of the venture depends not only on their lives but also on the future of all Elidor.
