Patricia is a graduate of Eltisley Maze, the hidden academy for the world's magically gifted, and works with a small band of other magicians to secretly repair the world's every-growing ailments. Little do they realize that something bigger than either of them, something begun years ago in their youth, is determined to bring them together--to either save the world, or plunge it into a new dark ages.Charlie Jane Anders' critically acclaimed All the Birds in the Sky is a deeply magical, darkly funny examination of life, love, and the apocalypse.
