The Rise of a Legend

Description

Before he becomes a Guardian of Ga’Hoole, Ezylryb the screech owl must earn his place through danger, loyalty, and hard-won courage. In this prequel, he recounts his rise through the ranks of the Killian Army, the betrayal that fractures his world, and the unexpected friendship that helps him keep his moral compass when survival demands compromise. Blending high-stakes adventure with themes of identity, trust, and redemption, the story explores how legends are forged—not in triumph alone, but in the choices made under pressure. Kathryn Lasky’s vivid, fast-moving storytelling brings the Northern Kingdoms to life with the same sense of wonder and grit that defines the Ga’Hoole saga.
