About this title

From the Back Cover:

LET THE KING BE THE KING!

Why is the High King of the human kingdoms not doing his job – thereby allowing the Church to fill the power vacuum in the human lands of Alanda?

This is a matter of some concern to Nightingale and her friends: the church is becoming ever more hostile to non-human sentients (of which there are several species in Alanda) as well as to anything that it does not at least indirectly control, such as the gypsies and Free Bards.

To discover just what s going on, Nightingale must join forces with T’fyrr, a birdman with the face of an eagle and the voice of an angelic choir.

And before the King – and through him the gypsies, Free Bards and non-humans of the twenty kingdoms – is saved, the Eagle and the Nightingale will have become if not quite lovers, than far more than friends...
