Birdwing
Author: Rafe Martin
Desc: Once upon a time a girl rescued her seven brothers from a spell that had turned them into swans. But one boy Ardwin was left with the scar of the spell's last gasp: one arm remained a wing. And while Ardwin yearned to find a place in his father's kingdom the wing whispered to him of open sky and rushing wind. Marked by difference Ardwin sets out to discover who he is: bird or boy crippled or sound cursed or blessed. But followed by the cold eye of a sorceress and with war rumbling at his kingdom's borders Ardwin's path may lead him not to enlightenment but into unimaginable danger.
