Swift by R.J. Anderson

Book 1 of The Flight and Flame Trilogy

Summary:

To save her people, a wingless girl must learn to fly.
 
As a piskey girl born without wings and raised underground, Ivy yearns for flight almost as much as she misses her long-lost mother. But the world outside the Delve is full of danger, and her dreams seem hopeless until she meets a mysterious faery who makes her an enticing offer: If Ivy helps him escape the Delve's dungeon, he'll teach her how to fly.
 
Freeing Richard could cost Ivy her reputation, perhaps even her life. But when her fellow piskeys start to disappear and her beloved little sister goes missing, Ivy has no choice but to take the risk.
 
Deadly threats and shocking revelations await Ivy as she ventures into a strange new world, uncovers long-buried secrets about her family's past, and finds that no one—not even herself—is entirely what they seem.

Opening Lines:

"You could always make it look as though you had wings," said Jenny, her voice echoing off the granite walls of the treasure cavern. "A little glamour, just for tonight--"

Ivy let the delicate wing-chain slide through her fingers, spilling it back into the chest. "I'm not that good with illusions. Cicely can cast better glamours than me, and she's five." She shut the lid with a snap. "Anyway, why bother? I'm not going to fool anyone."
