Spensa, who has been preparing for the exam her entire life, has high hopes to pass, as does her longtime friend Rodge. In order to get accepted into the flight academy, she and her peers must take an exam to prove their worth. However she is barred from any chance at becoming one because her father abandoned his flight in the infamous Battle of Alta, which ended in his own wingmates shooting him down.
Spensa dreams of following in the footsteps of her deceased father, a fighter pilot of the Defiant Defense Force (DDF). Spensa is a 17-year-old girl who is part of a group of shipwrecked humans living on a ruined world called Detritus, under constant attack from mysterious aliens called the Krell. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. But her fate is intertwined with that of her father-a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa's chance of attending flight school at slim to none. Now, pilots are the heros of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream.
Spensa's world has been under attack for decades.
