Kings become outcasts and lovers become foes in The Faithless Hawk, the thrilling sequel to Margaret Owen's The Merciful Crow.
As the new chieftain of the Crows, Fie knows better than to expect a royal to keep his word. Still she's hopeful that Prince Jasimir will fulfill his oath to protect her fellow Crows. But then black smoke fills the sky, signaling the death of King Surimir and the beginning of Queen Rhusana's merciless bid for the throne.
With the witch queen using the deadly plague to unite the nation of Sabor against Crows—and add numbers to her monstrous army—Fie and her band are forced to go into hiding, leaving the country to be ravaged by the plague. However, they're all running out of time before the Crows starve in exile and Sabor is lost forever.
A desperate Fie calls on old allies to help take Rhusana down from within her own walls. But inside the royal palace, the only difference between a conqueror and a thief is an army. To survive, Fie must unravel not only Rhusana's plot, but ancient secrets of the Crows—secrets that could save her people, or set the world ablaze.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company

      In this addition to the Merciful Crow series, narrator Amy Landon shapes the fantasy world and its characters with self-confidence and imaginative accents. Landon uses Renaissance English for the lowest caste, the Crows, and the King's English for the royal caste, the Phoenix. The Crows are not liked, but they are immune to the Sinner's Plague and must dispose of the dead from the other castes. Fie is chief of a Crow's band. Landon creates a strong warrior voice for her, which she uses to great effect as the story unfolds. Fie's quest to save the kingdom from its evil queen and find Tavin, her true love, will have listeners rooting for her success. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
