The Sky They Stole From Us (The Stolen Sky Trilogy)

By George J. H. Smith

He knows the exact number of steps from the rock to the corner. Eleven. He has known it for years.

Theo is a peregrine falcon - the fastest animal alive - living alone in a cell of glass and concrete. The sun rises without rising. The air comes from something that breathes behind the wall. He does not know what the Keepers who feed him are, or why the Shapes on the other side of the glass come every day just to look at him.

He has wings. There is nowhere to fall.

Then Nix arrives - bigger than he is, and unwilling to accept a single answer he has already decided is final. And Theo learns that love can be an act of rebellion too, even inside four walls.

But the peace doesn't last. New arrivals bring hierarchy, fear, and a law nobody ever says out loud. While the others fight over space and status, Theo notices what none of them can see:

every cage has a flaw.

The Sky They Stole From Us is an adult fable about freedom, love, and the price of both - the story of a creature who spends his whole life trying to understand a system that was never explained to him, and of the one promise he shouts in the most desperate instant of his life.

For readers of Watership Down, Animal Farm, and Life of Pi.
