Summary
Zephyr, taking advantage of a brief lapse in his father's volatile behaviour, finds a strange boy - too eloquently dressed to be a crow - about to be robbed by other fledglings from the slums. He helps fend them off with the intention of robbing him and taking all the spoils himself; only to be made an offer he can't refuse.
Lloyd, a highborn angel from the Temple, is on one of his frequent escapades when he becomes fascinated by a charmless crow who has a smile that makes the recipient want to jump into a river. Well, not that he'd ever seen him smile. But Lloyd has a certain... knack for people that gets them smiling soon enough.
And so a twisted friendship is born.

Summary
“I’m wondering,” I say instead. “What it’s like to fly. What is it like, Lloyd?”
“Constant movement," he answers immediately. "Like your heart and body are on the edge of an abyss. Or running on a tightrope. You can’t slow down or you’ll fall.” He mimics the movement with his hands. He loves doing that. Flitting gestures with his hands. I like it, too – it makes his stories more mesmerising. I close my eyes, try to imagine what he was describing. Comparing it against my own imagination. “Or drift, I suppose. But that’s letting gravity control you. And in the sky, you must seize control. That’s how we fought the dragons. We stole their domain right out of the sky.”
