The ravens present her with a fortune from a cookie, and when she touches it, she’s pulled into a vision from her family’s past.

But all of this is about to change. Rozbell, the newly crowned king of the Owl Parliament, is dealing with a famine on the mainland of Tytonia - and he has long had his scheming eyes on the small colony to the north.
