註釋A novel that explores how morals and boundaries waver when a human knight meets "the other." Sent to serve in exile as a prison warden, Lena is a disgraced knight who chose conscience over rank. Soon upon arriving, she realizes that this prison is nothing like what she expected, its only prisoner an enigmatic young man named Bel. A prince of the avians, a winged race of humanoids, Bel was captured ten years ago in battle and now serves Lena's king as a translator. Stuck together in a crumbling castle, Lena and Bel are forced within the small confines to confront their assumptions about the other and also the reasons that saw them relegated to the prison. Aerie seeks to look at a broad conflict, a war between humans and avians, from the personal scale on both sides. The novel explores the dual personalities and conflicts of Lena and Bel as they begin to understand one another, as well as what it means to pick up the pieces of a dream or life once lived and forge a new future.
