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.
