New York Times bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks says of Lightfall: Gorgeous artwork and a
lovable heroine make Lightfall the series I wish I'd had as a kid. In the second installment of
the award-winning critically acclaimed Lightfall series Bea and Cad continue their quest to
stop Kest the mythic bird who stole the sun. Perfect for middle grade fans of Amulet and
Avatar the Last Airbender Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird is another breathtaking journey into
the magical world of Irpa where epic battles and powerful creatures abound. After a battle
that nearly cost them their lives Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai
mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsai's vision paints a dire picture
for their planet as the bird Kest Ke Belenus-now awoken from a restless slumber-threatens to
destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a solution Bea and Cad seek out the help of a
water spirit known as Lorgon whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest
and save Irpa from utter destruction. But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions
than answers Bea and Cad must decide what's more important . . . stopping Kest or uncovering
the truth. Praise for Lightfall: The Girl and the Galdurian Kirkus Best Books of 2020 Fall 2020
