But one boy, Ardwin, was left with the scar of the spell's last one arm remained a wing. And while Ardwin yearned to find a place in his father's kingdom, the wing whispered to him of open sky and rushing wind. Marked by difference, Ardwin sets out to discover who he bird or boy, crippled or sound, cursed or blessed.
