In an epic conflict of bloodied beak and razor-sharp talon, of undaunted courage and unspeakable evil, of love, loyalty, and wings of honor, the battle for the very soul of Birddom is about to begin. From the proud might of the eagles, to the ancient wisdom of the owls, to the unlikeliest earthbound creatures, the allies of good must join together to oppose the shadowy menace that threatens them all-or fall from the sky forever. Through danger and deceit, Kirrick soars to all corners of the land, rallying those who would fight to save Birddom.

To stop the gathering storm, Kirrick, a lone robin who witnessed the massacre of everything he loved, must undertake a journey beyond all reckoning. Now Slyekin is preparing to launch his final assault against all that was once pure and proclaim his vile dominion.
Led by the malevolent, power-mad Slyekin and his sadistic assassin, Traska, their reign of terror has laid waste to the beauty and freedom that was once Birddom. The skies rain blood, no nest is safe, and the winds are thick with fear, pain, and death.ĭriven by an unslakable desire to kill and conquer, the black-feathered magpies-aided by their brutish cousins, the crows-have hunted down and slaughtered countless species of smaller birds into extinction. “An epic tale in the tradition of Watership Down and Lord of the Rings.”-Alan Yentob, BBC Director of Drama and Entertainmentĭarkness has fallen over the realm of Birddom. But even the quest to Wingdom was fairly uneventful and boring - while in the end, presumably songbirds wouldn't have returned to Birddom without the emmissary's quest, it really felt superfluous.One For Sorrow, Two For Joy E-Kitap Açıklaması I found this was most true of the Venga storyline - this could have been cut and the story would have lost nothing (except a few unnecessary violent events). These four narrative strains feel rather unconnected (though they do eventually come together) and overall they're really unsatisfying. And Tomar is watching over the two children of Kirrick. Traska's son, Venga, (born from a magpies he raped and raised for a single purpose - to kill his father) is hunting for him. Meanwhile, Traska has slunk off to Ireland (I think) in search of new allies. So they send an emissary to Wingland (I think that's Europe) to try to convince some songbirds to relocate now that Birddom is safe again. Specifically they are in need of new songbirds after the annihilation many species suffered at the wings of the magpies. After the defeat of the magpies, Birddom needs to rebuild. Unfortunately, everything sort of fell apart in the second part.
