Description

Conor's life on the Saltee Islands is one of study and exploration. He spends his days learning about flight with his tutor and discovering hidden corners of the castle, including the company of Princess Isabella. However, when Conor stumbles upon a deadly conspiracy against the ruler, his world is turned upside down. Conor finds himself imprisoned on the harsh island of Little Saltee, forced to endure inhumane conditions while mining for diamonds. Despite the bleak surroundings, Conor holds onto his dream of flight, and he passes the time by sketching designs for flying machines on the prison walls. Years turn into months as Conor waits for the courage to trust his revolutionary ideas. As the day approaches when Conor must take a chance on his designs, he must confront the harsh realities of his situation and find the strength to trust himself. Will he be able to overcome the obstacles in his path and achieve his dream of flight?
