Golden Flight



Concluding S. K. Ali's powerful duology, The Keeper's Records of Revolution, Golden Flight returns to a divided world with war on the horizon.

How difficult is it to crash the party of the decade? Literally crash it?

The Golden Flight happens once every ten years — a gala to honor elites fallen in service of maintaining Upper Earth’s powerful hold on earth’s remaining populace and dwindling resources. 

It’s a party where cunning new technology gets unveiled to masked revelers perpetually thirsty for fresh entertainment. 

It’s also a party Raisa and Nayf plan to infiltrate to bring down Upper Earth for good.  

Even with a known traitor, and a mysterious, ruthless avenger in their midst, pulling off a dangerous mission in enemy territory feels possible with record-keeper Khalda at the helm. To crack into Upper Earth, simply find strategic details hidden in the records.

However, they soon discover the toll of running a crew with competing, secretive goals: the lines between friend and foe begin to blur to violent ends. 

But on an oil rig at the edge of the world, the sun rises and shines on a team member no one knows about. 

Will she bring the seed of hope or be the source of ultimate chaos?

Just who is she — and why does she know exactly how to end the world?

Praise for Golden Flight


Praise for Fledgling by S. K. Ali

“Ali's science-fiction debut reads like she's known this genre all her life. A sweeping epic of love and revolution, set in a visceral future vision of Earth and starring a cast you can't help but fall for. A breathtaking ride.”
—Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Stars and Smoke

“A dystopian story rooted in colonial realities, Fledgling is a fierce and ever-relevant ode to resistance and self-determination against the hypocrisy of those who burn the world down for their own benefit and then deem themselves superior to those who survive among the ashes.” 
—Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Iron Widow

“A delicious blend of intricate world building, royal and political intrigue, and romance. Fledgling pulls you in from the very first page!” 
—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart
