How can twelve-year-old Gabriel find his missing father, who seems to have vanished without a trace? With the help of Paladin-a young raven with whom he has a magical bond that enables them to become one creature-he flies to the foreboding land of Aviopolis, where he must face a series of difficult challenges and unanswerable riddles that could lead to his father... or to his death.

"...brimful of antic energy and inventive flair, like the best middle-grade fantasies; readers, like baby birds, will devour it and clamor for future installments." -Kirkus Reviews
