An extraordinary tale of unity and friendship from the award-winning, internationally-bestselling author of The House With Chicken Legs
The Island of Morovia is shaped like a broken heart. The humans live on one side of the island, and the alkonosts -- the bird-people -- live on the other. But it wasn't always this way...
Linnet wishes she could sing magic, like her father, Nightingale -- and bring the two sides of her island together again.
For her land has been divided by a terrible tragedy, and Linnet has been banished with her father to the deepest swamps, leaving behind her best friends, Hero and Silver.
