🌟 Exciting news! 🌟

We're thrilled to announce that Robyn Hooper's new book, 'Wings of Glass', will be released on March 10th, 2025! Check out the book trailer and blurb below!

In a city suffocating beneath its own smog, where dreams are forbidden and flight is a crime, Tori dares to defy the unbreakable.

Determined to rise above Spheros' walls and uncover the truth beyond, she crafts wings to escape the city’s grip. But when her childhood friend - now a Council enforcer - hunts her down, and her invention threatens to tear apart the fragile order, she must decide: Will she risk everything for freedom or be grounded forever?

Robyn is the CEO, Founder and Editor of Forge Publishing.
