A romantic story about the love of a fifteen-year-old fairy (though the heroine herself, Laurel Sewell—an ordinary American schoolgirl—learns about this essence of hers not right away) and her struggle against otherworldly forces trying to pass through magical gates and reach Avalon caused a real storm in the literary world. Who is this Eprilinn Pike, an author unknown to the public, whose debut book was introduced to readers by none other than Stephanie Meyer, the cult author of “Twilight” and other no less sensational novels? Why did the Walt Disney company buy the book without delay for a film adaptation of “Twilight,” again filmed based on Stephanie Meyer’s novel? Over time, answers will come to all these questions. But one thing can be trusted even today: “Wings,” the first book of the planned trilogy, was destined from the very beginning to become a world bestseller and earn a worthy place in the readers’ popularity rankings.
