Not drawing the focus away from Wil & the Ospreys! I could draw parallels with a certain group kidnapping Americans, but I’m not getting into that. I can’t even imagine being kidnapped from my homeland to the kingdom that conquered mine. Now, I’ve already had the chance to jump into this strange new world Jodi has created, but just for fun, I’m going to play along that I haven’t! Wil and the other older Ospreys raised the younger ones, hiring tutors to further their education and combat training. They stayed in an orphanage for a year until they orchestrated a breakout, then took over an old, abandoned castle in the mountains.

I am here to introduce to you the incredible Wilhelmina “Wil” Korte! Here’s the full fact that I’m sharing with you today:Īlmost ten years ago, Wilhelmina and the Ospreys were kidnapped to the kingdom that conquered their homeland.

Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, dangerous magic, and one girl’s battle to reclaim her place in the world. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will vanish like all the others, Still the wraith pours across the continent, reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic has been forbidden. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone. They assume the identities of nobles from a wraith-fallen kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows suspicious.

Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study their foes. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne. Ten years later, they are the Ospreys, experts at stealth and theft. When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other orphaned children of nobility were taken to Skyvale, the Indigo Kingdom’s capital.
