只有迎向挑戰,才能生存下去!

「摘下那些星星,思蘋瑟。」
──這是爸爸最後留給我的一句話。
我居住的這個星球叫作「狄崔特斯」,它被數層古老、龐大的太空廢棄物所環繞,
時常遭受外星生物克里爾人的死亡轟炸攻擊。
為了避免被滅絕的命運,人類避居到地下洞穴,生活在地表之下,
並且組織了名為「無畏者」的戰機武力,努力防禦、試圖反擊。
九年前,一場史詩般的戰役讓人類取得了超乎預料的勝利,
卻奪走了我爸爸的性命,並且讓他留下「懦夫」的惡名──但我從不相信這是事實。
從此之後,我在懦夫之女的名號下成長,受盡他人的歧視眼光與言語欺凌,而我決心反抗到底。
我要飛上天際,證明自己的勇敢,然後摘下那些星星!
當我無意間發現那艘古老殘破的飛艇時,我知道,我的夢想就在眼前……

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the Mistborn trilogy comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity’s future.
Spensa’s world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what’s left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa’s dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father’s--a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa’s chances of attending flight school at slim to none. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars.
