"When you have the Gift, your life is not your own." I was born to a family that harnessed the winds and could read futures in fire and water. Yet my mother kept her secrets. Then the werewolf came, sharing his madness. Now it's my turn to keep secrets. Descended from powerful magic-users, but ignorant of her heritage, young Alfreda Sorensson learns magic and wisdom from her extended family in an alternate early 1800s Michigan Territory.
Tales of power and magic often speak of transitions. Magicians pass from day into night, from dark into dawn -- they stand on the threshold of change and cast their spells. Wings of Morning tells about two heroines, both capable in their own ways of pyrotechnics, but this time learning lessons of subtle power. Anthropologist Brenna Stewart discovers that you can neither run from nor dictate to magic, while young Alfreda Sorensson learns that the power of life and death may be the greatest authority of all...and that magic may have nothing to do with it.
