Sting Magic

Written by Sarah K. L. Wilson

Narrated by Caitlin Kelly

SHE HAS RENEGADE MAGIC – AND THAT WILL COST HER EVERYTHING.

Aella is the most relentless, determined seventeen-year-old in the Winged Empire’s newest settlement so of course when she manifests magic, it’s a renegade kind – the kind that gets people killed if they aren’t careful.

The only thing that seventeen-year-old Aella ever wanted was to keep raising horses with her sprawling family on the frontier of the Winged Empire.

But when the Winged Empire tests for magic, they’re looking for spirit-birds and Aella doesn’t manifest a spirit-bird - she manifests bees. An angry swarm of bees to be precise.

Furious at her aberration, the Empire snatches her from her home, ransacks her town, and draws her into a world that she hates to her very core.

Until a mysterious revolutionary offers her a deal that could change everything.

Now, Aella must choose – learn to use her new magic to save her family and the entire continent or submit to the Winged Empire and watch everything she loves crumble.

Sarah K. L. Wilson

I write timeless stories. Not the stories you think you want but the stories you don't know you desperately need.I believe in happy endings and that it should take a lot of struggle to get to them.I believe that sometimes violence is the answer, that sometimes no one is coming to save you, and that self-sacrifice is always worth it.I believe in big twists and beginnings that start in the end.I believe in heroic acts of bravery, that chaos sometimes trumps order, that there's humor in dark things, and that risks are what you make of them.I believe in the someday that will make all things new.And I believe in stories - sweeping, epic, glorious stories that renew our hearts and our hopes and refresh our minds like woodland streams.Oh, and I'm a USA Today bestselling author. I suppose I should mention that.
