Publisher's Synopsis
The crow king is dead, and in the field below all the creatures tremble as the Murder gathers to choose a new king from the rival sons, Sintus, Milus and Nascus. When the crows drive everyone away from the field to keep the reckoning secret, the quail Isyl, Cormo and Harlequin believe they must simply follow their elders to safety. But when the crows turn against each other, the forest becomes full of danger. In the confusion, the last wolf begins to raise an army to claim the kingdom for his own.
