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.
