From the publisher: "Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's—a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa's chances of attending flight school at slim to none. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars."

Brigid says: "The first release from Sanderson’s record-breaking Kickstarter book campaign, this standalone fantasy was written as a gift for his wife to make her smile during those early pandemic days. Thankfully, she urged him to share the book with readers, who embraced this delightful tale of a young woman journeying far across a treacherous sea to save her beloved from an evil Sorceress. If Tress’s quest sounds familiar, that is because it is heavily inspired by the much beloved The Princess Bride. The lively audiobook is performed by Michael Kramer, one-half of the married duo who narrates most of the author’s books. Whimsical, adventurous, and full of unique characters, it is hard not to have fun with this audiobook. Note: Sanderson initially chose not to make the audiobook available on Audible but he recently announced a deal is forthcoming."
