The Tale of the River

About the book

Cynege is the Shaman of the River Forest, a mighty saval who looks just like a large barn owl in our world. She is sent on a quest: to save the mighty Mau river. The Mau did not flood the forest and the River Kingdom this spring. This means hunger and the prospect is war. Can Cyenge prevent the war and restore balance to nature? During her journey, many join her: Ho, the second prince of the River Forest; Ashleen, priest of the River Goddess; and Taro, the future Great Screech from the Owl Forest. Can they form a flock from such big beaks? Can they learn to trust each other to stand against what lurks in the shadows?
