Newbery Honor-winning Kathryn Lasky, author of the best-selling Guardians of Ga'Hoole and Bears of Ice series, delivers a sweeping middle-grade animal adventure with loyal beavers, a cultured swan, and ominous lynxes around every turn - a captivating story about heroism, loyalty, and the courage to speak truth to power. Deep in the wilds of Scotland, land of ancient warrior kings and myths, there is a deep secret. The secret is a colony of beavers, a species that is craved for their fur pelts, but vilified for what humans consider to be the destruction of their land. No beaver has been spotted in Scotland or England for more than 500 years, until the young beaver Dunwattle is sighted! Dunwattle's flight is driven by the presence of a ghostly figure, a figure of a mysterious young girl who is almost 1,000 years old. And now Dunwattle is destined to be destroyed for revealing the hidden colony, but his best friend, Locksley, is determined to save him. Will their ancient beaver colony survive?
