Birdwing

A Journey Out Of Myth And Into The World

Once upon a time, six brothers were turned into swans. And once upon a time, the spell was broken, giving back to each brother his human form... all except for Ardwin, the youngest. He was left with one arm enchanted, forever a wing.
And so he grows up, marked by difference, a prince struggling to find a place in his father's kingdom while his wing pulls him toward the open sky. Ardwin barely knows how to speak to his family, yet his wing gives him the power to understand every other creature in the forest.
Half the time Ardwin wishes his wing were gone. But when he learns that his father plans to have the wing severed, he knows he must flee... to save his life and to find his way.
