Beskrivelse
The saga begun in AMERICAN CHANGELING continues in this tale of magic, heroism, family, and mystery.
Now a ten-year-old student of magic, Jack stands at a crossroads between the two halves of his being, human and Pointy, together with his adoptive father Amrien, who is of similar ancestry. But life in the town of Cascade Grove with Amrien's human husband, Will, is as idyllic as ever...
... until an ancient species of murderous monsters returns to threaten Kas'Kaidia. An old friend and ally is in jeopardy, and now Amrien-with the aid of his best friend, the human veteran Miguel-leaps into the fight to rid the land of the dangerous Bird-Folk.
But they are not the only deadly force on the loose. For the first time in their history, the Pointies are beset by division and contention. An increasingly desperate and reckless King enlists Will and Duffin to recover an artifact with the power to unite all seven clans. Meanwhile, with their parents away, Jack and his best friend Junior are sent to stay with Amrien's parents. There they confront an adventure of their own when a mysterious stranger claims to hold the secret to Jack's original parentage.
From a seaside fort to an ancient mine teeming with menace, from the depths of the earth to the skies above Puget Sound, engaging adversaries both ancient and new, their three disparate adventures eventually converge into a final confrontation that will test all their bonds... and their courage.
Return to a land where the everyday and the extraordinary collide in the pivotal second chapter of the Cascadia Quartet.
