The Good Hawk (Shadow Skye, Book One) | Joseph Elliott
2 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
In a mythic Scotland, two unlikely heroes must make a dangerous journey to save their people. Agatha is a Hawk, brave and fierce, who protects her people by patrolling the high walls of their island home. She is proud of her job, though some in her clan whisper that it is meant to keep her out of the way because of the condition she was born with. Jaime, thoughtful and anxious, is an Angler, but he hates the sea. Worse, hes been chosen for a duty that the clan hasnt required for generations: to marry. The elders wont say why they have promised him to a girl in a neighboring clan, but there are rumors of approaching danger. When disaster strikes and the clan is kidnapped, it is up to Agatha and Jaime to travel across the haunted mainland of Scotia to Norveg, with help along the way from a clan of nomadic Highland bull riders and the many animals who are drawn to Agathas extraordinary gift of communication. Thrilling and dark yet rich with humor and compassion, this is the first book in the Shadow Skye trilogy, written by a wonderful new voice in fantasy and introducing a welcome new kind of hero.

“I don‘t have anything to do but look at things. There are some mountains bigger than I ever saw with whites at the top which is the snow I think. There are lochs too which are big ones and black. Then it starts raining and I cannot see anything. The rain makes the bulls smell funny and I am wet.”
