New York Times bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks says of
Lightfall: "Gorgeous artwork and a lovable heroine make Lightfall the
series I wish I'd had as a kid."
In the second installment of the award-winning, critically acclaimed
Lightfall series, Bea and Cad continue their quest to stop Kest, the
mythic bird who stole the sun. Perfect for middle grade fans of Amulet
and Avatar the Last Airbender, Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird is
another breathtaking journey into the magical world of Irpa, where epic
battles and powerful creatures abound.
After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in
the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse
into the future. The Arsai's vision paints a dire picture for their
planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenus--now awoken from a restless
slumber--threatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a
solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as
Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest
and save Irpa from utter destruction.
But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers,
Bea and Cad must decide what's more important . . . stopping Kest or
uncovering the truth.
