Review Summaries
"Kestrel and Bowman are twins and they live in Armanath. Here, everyone's goal is to obtain good grades in order to improve the place of their family in the social hierarchy so that they can get a better house to live in.
But Kestrel revolts against the system and she is banished from the town, together with her brother and one of their friends. This is when she decides to go looking for the wind singer. His key has the power to free the inhabitants of Armanath and bring them back their lost treasures: hope and love. She manages to take it but their way back is full of obstacles, like the terrible Zargs, invincible soldiers who are not afraid of death because, as long as one Zarg is alive, they are all alive. These terrible warriors are decided to kill everyone who stands in their way of recovering the enchanted key that Kestrel has stolen. Will the three teenagers be able to find the strength to fight these magic beings who are much more powerful than they are?
