Sean W Bagan: On Ravens & Riddles, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Gideon Thrush, son of one of the richest Finch merchants in all of Moda, has always craved adventure. His only escape from the monotony of life is buried in the ancient tales humanity left behind before the Great End. But when Avians begin vanishing across the continent, his daydreams turn to nightmares. Prophecy calls for a champion, and fate has chosen him.
Not very strong, nor particularly brave, Gideon is no warrior. But when the Ravens-a ruthless faction bent on recreating the Great End-set their sights on him, he's left with an impossible choice: step into his role as the Owls' champion or watch the world crumble.
When his best friend is caught in the crossfire, Gideon has no time for doubts. Fleeing to the Noktern, the Owls' sanctuary, he must rely on an unlikely band of allies: Hawk hunters, Owl scholars, and a precocious Sapien child. The weight of prophecy is heavy, but if he fails, it won't just be his life at stake.
On Ravens & Riddles is the high-flying first book in the Noktern series: a tale of prophecy, peril, and the choices that forge a hero. Join Gideon and friends as they race to save Avis.
