In the heart-pounding second book in the Shadow Skye trilogy, unlikely
heroes Agatha and Jaime must fight for their clan's home when a new
danger comes to the Isle of Skye.
After their escape from Norveg, Agatha and Jaime return with their clan
to the Isle of Skye to find that their enclave is now in the hands of
the treacherous people of Raasay. They find tenuous shelter with another
clan, but disaster soon strikes when the terrifying shadow creatures
known as sgàilean escape their magical prison and wreak havoc across
the island. Now Agatha and Jaime must call on old and new allies to
fight this threat. In the meantime, a ship from Norveg sails for the
court of King Edmund of Ingland, where a dangerous alliance is forming,
and Sigrid, a girl with an extraordinary memory, works to free herself
from the clutches of a cruel king. All three protagonists must summon
their particular powers to save the island from the horde of dark
creatures and foil the plans of two vengeful monarchs.
Kirkus Reviews called The Good Hawk "a page-turning adventure" and
Agatha an "original protagonist." This second book in the Shadow Skye
trilogy continues to expand the definition of hero as its neurodiverse
heroine tackles ever greater challenges in a thrilling middle act to the
battle over the fate of Scotia.
