[For the FULLY ILLUSTRATED version, check out my KOFI @2ndStarArt] 50 years ago, Queen Seraphina, a woman cursed to turn into a swan by daylight, disappeared. In her absence 11 girls were born with the same affliction to the lost queen, turning into owls, eagles and ravens alike. Adric, a 14-year-old boy sets out on a quest to find the Queen to seek a cure for his sister and prove himself as a noble knight. Along the way, aided by a nosey Magpie, he meets Gale, a rowdy girl who grew up in an isolated village, also cursed to turn into a Nightingale. After much arguing and a difference in reasoning, the two join together to find Seraphina and solve the mystery once and for all.
