The Eye of the Falcon

"The Eye of the Falcon" is an action-packed fantasy adventure for middle-grade readers, following Hylas as he embarks on a dangerous journey to rescue his sister, Pirra, who has been captured by the menacing Crows. Set against a backdrop of a world shrouded in volcanic ash and endless winter, the siblings, along with their loyal animal companions, a lion cub named Havoc and a goddess's falcon named Echo, must confront powerful adversaries. The story explores themes of bravery, family loyalty, and the classic struggle between good and evil, all while navigating a richly imagined ancient, mythical world. Parents should be aware of moderate peril and battle scenes, suitable for children ready for exciting, high-stakes fantasy.

"The eruption of a volcano has shrouded the sun in ash, and the harsh winter is never-ending. With no trace of his lost sister, Hylas takes a ship for Keftiu, to find Pirra and free her from captivity. But the Crows are also coming to Keftiu, led by Telamon, who is no longer a conflicted boy. And he knows what Hylas doesn't: that in the chaos of the volcanic eruption, Pirra found the dagger of Koronos and took it with her. Aided by Havoc, the lion cub, and Echo, a falcon of the Goddess, Hylas and PIrra will face the Crows once again, in a terrifying battle to save the land--or destroy it."-- Page [4] cover.
