Now a young woman eager to live a full life, she swears growing up in the shadow of the king’s palace had not been a better plan than moving to New York City or — Hey, here’s an idea!—miles in any direction away from the people who aim to enslave her and wield her unique magic as their own.

But unfinished business with the royal family haunts him, and he wants done with it once and for all, one way or another.

Two human siblings, Alexis and Varren, sixteen and seventeen years old, live in a mythical land called Ithaca, where six groups dominate the world: elves, dwarves, gnomes, were-creatures, dragons, and humans. The siblings lead a normal life until it is revealed to them that a rebellion exists against the humans' tyrannical ruler, the Queen, and they are handed a book that can transport anything through time, making it the most powerful object in Ithaca. Alexis, Varren, and their grandfather Icarus must travel across the land to reach Karakorum, the rebels' base, to deliver the Book of Time. Along the way, they meet allies and enemies, see things they would never have dreamed of, and experience love, anguish, exhilaration, wounds, and death. The two are loyal, brave, determined, and smart, and Varren possesses a form of magic called Persuasion, while Alexis possesses something even more potent and mysterious. But when there seem to be no mysteries left, when they finally reach Karakorum

The Discovery of Flight is a novel in two voices about the relationship between two sisters, the older of whom is disabled by cerebral palsy and only able to communicate with assistive technology (she can control her computer by moving her eyes). It interweaves the fantasy novel sixteen-year-old Libby is writing for Sophie’s thirteenth birthday, and Sophie’s diary, in which she discusses the deteriorating condition of her older sister. The book’s title is also the title of Libby’s novel, in which Libby takes the form of a hawk telepathically linked to a girl who, like her sister, is a good artist. Sophie’s diary is in fact illustrated with the occasional black-and-white drawings. The sicker Libby gets, the more she retreats into her novel and the less she interacts with the outside world. Though the situation is tragic, Sophie’s voice is extremely funny and wry. In addition, through her storytelling, Libby becomes a heroic figure rather than a helpless victim. After Libby’s death, the girls’ mother presents Sophie with the novel and Sophie writes its final chapter, bringing the voices of the two girls together.
