About this ebook
Makki, a fledgling magpie, is attacked in his nest by an evil raven. He is rescued by a young monk, who provides refuge in the aviary of ancient Bongeunsa Temple in downtown Seoul, Korea. The temple's beloved abbot, who also once escaped death as a child during the War, senses unusual promise in the magpie. Upon return to the wild, Makki becomes brother to the high-flying southern raptors of Seoul Forest. Schooled by his mentors in the arts of survival, he becomes a skilled hunter and a warrior bird with exceptional prowess.
Deep in the northern Forest, Corvus, the savage raven who attacked Makki, watches and waits. He is plotting to ravage the peaceful realm by killing the benevolent Crow King of the North and imposing tyranny over the woodland's winged inhabitants.
Horrific tragedy thrusts Makki into unexpected leadership as brutal airborne combat commences above the urban woodland's canopy. With an army of intrepid falcons, hawks and songbirds at his command, the humble magpie must take to the skies against impossible odds to confront Corvus and his legion of black-winged followers, the Dark Ones. The Forest's entire existence is at stake, and much will be demanded for Makki to emerge triumphant. Can he succeed in saving the threatened land he calls home?
With vivid detail and cinematic sweep, The Legend of the Magpie King conjures a timeless hidden world known to few humans, with its own language and secrets passed through generations. Mystical powers, a magical cane, and frightening forces of nature come to bear as Makki struggles to deliver the Forest from treachery and madness. Above all, he must summon the power and strength within himself to rise above.
Prepare to enter the Forest.
