Time-worn and battle-hard without,
butter-soft and full of life within.
A thousand birds voice wisdom,
as we run against the wind.
Neil had always felt his life was meant to be something more than it had become. He had his beautiful children, his home, and his job, everything a person could want, but a shadow hung over it all. Some evasive purpose or completeness was missing like a song being played sadly out of tune until that day. That day changed everything. Out on his morning run, he encountered the solitary crow picking its way across an empty parking lot. The crow cried out its harsh caw of warning. Whether a warning to him or because of him, he did not know, but its cries bestirred a cacophony of birds about him. The ensuing song that erupted haunted him. As if a veil was lifted from his eyes, doors in his mind began to open. Hidden capacities awakened that would eventually plunge him into the world of Aevi, a world ruled by clans of birds.
In this world, Neil finds himself enmeshed in the heart of their conflicts and struggles. He discovers his unknown link to the origin of their crisis, the source of the darkness that casts itself across his life, across worlds. Far from his home and children, he must find his courage and strength in the strange songs and ways of the birds. He is forced to confront his failures and find a way to redemption for himself, the world of the birds, and the world he comes from.
The Crow's Song is a story of transgression and redemption, schism and union, faith and loyalty, the bond of family, and the power of love and sacrifice.
