Shade is a young silverwing bat, the runt of his colony. But
he's determined to prove himself on the long, dangerous
winter migration to Hibernaculum, millions of wingbeats to
the south. During a fierce storm, he loses the others and
soon faces the most incredible journey of his young life.
Desperately searching for a way to rejoin his flock, Shade
meets a remarkable cast of characters: Marina, a Brightwing
bat with a strange metal band on her leg; Zephyr, a mystical
albino bat with an unusual gift; and Goth, a gigantic
carnivorous vampire bat. But which ones are friends and
which ones are enemies?
In this epic story of adventure and suspense, Shade is going
to need all the help he can find -- if he hopes to ever see
his family again.
