Book excerpt: The darkness grew, a few stars appeared in the sky, and the moon lifted above the rocks. Then soundlessly, like a ghost out of the night, a pale blur of wings swooped over the crowd of bandits, who ducked their heads and cried out in alarm. Vair crouched down as he caught a glimpse of crooked talons. It was an owl, gliding down to the top of the central rock. Even in the darkness, his eyes glared amber. Vair caught his breath as he stared at the creature. He had never seen an owl as big or as terrifying as this... A silver horn, lost in the mists of time, holds a secret that will change the land of Riverbourne forever... Vair is a brave young pine marten -- and a fine sword fighter -- eager for his first challenge at the Watersmeet Midsummer Fair. But Vair meets his match sooner than expected when he is captured by a silver fox and his bloodthirsty gang. These brutal bandits are no ordinary thieves, and more is at risk than Vair can imagine. Led by the strangely powerful Lord Owl, the gang of bandits is searching the country for a mysterious silver horn -- and Vair is determined to find it before they do... Book jacket.
