findthatbookI'm really glad I found this community, I read a looot of books, so hopefully I can contribute in answering questions as well as getting help!
Speaking of which, I just remembered a YA fantasy novel I read around 2008. It has (at least) two main characters, a boy and a girl, whose perspectives are switched between. The girl is a dragon/fairy creature locked away in a tower and has been since she was little, and the person who locks her in stole her wings - ripped/cut them right off her back, I remember them describing the wounds. I think the captor claims she saved the girl from being murdered. The captor wears the wings as a cape, and either uses them to fly or is trying to figure out how to use them to fly. Near the end of the book the girl breaks out of her room and finds her wings up on the wall, at which point her magic calls to them and they reattach. She flies away and meets the boy who was racing to the tower on horseback.
That's as much as I can remember! One or two details might be slightly wrong, but I distinctly remember the scene where her wings flew to her and reattached to the scarred nubs on her back.
Any help appreciated!

Date: October 19th, 2019 23:15 (UTC)The book I'm thinking of has a drawing of the fairy looking at us through the iron bars of her tower. The rescuer is also pictured as teeny-tiny on the outside ledge of the bars. I think the rescuer is a dragon, but the text does not reveal that until the fairy meets the rescuer.
