Surviving a crash is one thing, but cheating death is another. In Jordan Danes’s book On a Dark Wing, we follow a high schooler who had a date with Death and failed to appear in his grasp.

There is truth in the phrase “Death never forgets” and Abbey Chandler learns this the hard way. Five years ago, she survived a horrific car accident, but her “lucky” break came at the expense of losing her mother and changing everything.

After she crossed paths with Death, by taking the hand of an ethereal boy made from the clouds and sky, Abbey would never be the same again. Now, she’s targeted by Death’s ravens and an innocent boy’s life on the line

When Nate Holden, Abbey’s secret crush, begins a climb on Alaska’s Denali, the Angel of Death stalks him because of her.

“The choices I had made led to the moment when fate took over. I would learn a lesson I wasn’t prepared for. And Death would be my willing teacher,” Chandler says.
