Book Description
It had long been held in ancient legend that the majestic black raptors on Fundautum served as sentinels of freedom. With hundreds of years of peace in Kief’s homeland, their sightings have been rare. But when his dead grandfather leaves him a mysterious white stone and his nation is attacked by the Gars, the dark eagles begin to appear once more. As Kief watches his own town leaders betray his father and craft an alliance with the enemy, he’s determined to make them pay. He forms a secret band called the “Dark Eagles” to fight back. Unsuspected by the Gars, Kief’s little gang weaves together the perfect plot. However, Kief’s vengeful impulse for his father’s betrayal endangers all their lives and threatens the plan’s success. When he discovers that what the Gars are seeking in his mountain home will give them power over the entire world, he is forced to make a decision that could cost him his life. He comes to see that he is fighting for something greater than mere revenge. In the fight for his homeland Kief realizes he has more of a connection to the small white stone and the dark eagles’ charge to defend freedom than he ever imagined.

The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird
Author: Jack E. Davis
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631495267
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Best Books of the Month: Wall Street Journal, Kirkus Reviews From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Gulf, a sweeping cultural and natural history of the bald eagle in America. The bald eagle is regal but fearless, a bird you’re not inclined to argue with. For centuries, Americans have celebrated it as “majestic” and “noble,” yet savaged the living bird behind their national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely, a snatcher of babies. Taking us from before the nation’s founding through inconceivable resurgences of this enduring all-American species, Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native peoples lived beside it peacefully with that when others, whether through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed Haliaeetus leucocephalus to the brink of extinction. Filled with spectacular stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird rescuers, and the lives of bald eagles themselves—monogamous creatures, considered among the animal world’s finest parents—The Bald Eagle is a much-awaited cultural and natural history that demonstrates how this bird’s wondrous journey may provide inspiration today, as we grapple with environmental peril on a larger scale.
