Synopsis

Alix Leclaire has a plan: graduate high school and land her dream job as a feather artist at Mille et une Plume, where her creations will help define high fashion. Her best friend Jeanne will get a record contract and they’ll take over the Paris art scene together.

But then Jeanne dies.

Alix is lost, until the day she feels Jeanne pushing her to the feather boutique.

Soon, Alix is living a life she hardly recognizes—pursuing a passionate affair with an alluring artist, stealing feathers for her own creations, risking everything as Jeanne once did. But then Alix meets Blaise, the dreamy musician who comforts her, centers her, challenges her.

Torn between two beautiful boys and coping with grief, Alix’s art takes on a frightening and wild beauty. Living like Jeanne has given her everything she thought she wanted—but she must decide whether to hide in Jeanne’s shadow or soar on her own wings.

“If I Promise You Wings is a beautiful masterpiece. Vivid, immersive, and a heart-wrenching depiction of grief and healing, A. K. Small has written absolute magic.”—RACHAEL LIPPINCOTT, New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart
