Narrator Amy Landon delivers an epic performance of this young adult fantasy novel. In a world in which kings and queens still rule and a caste system based on birds keeps everyone in their places, three main characters play a game in which they risk everything. Landon's task is not easy because most of the characters and creatures in this world have unique names and even more inventive-sounding accents—all of which roll off her tongue. As tension builds and loyalties are tested, listeners will question whose side to take as Landon makes each character’s point of view sound absolutely convincing.

Debut author Margaret Owen crafts a powerful saga of vengeance, survival, and sacrifice--perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Kendare Blake--in The Merciful Crow.
One way or another, we always feed the crows.
A future chieftain
Fie abides by one rule: look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they're called to collect royal dead, she's hoping they'll find the payout of a lifetime.
A fugitive prince
When Crown Prince Jasimir turns out to have faked his death, Fie's ready to cut her losses-and perhaps his throat. But he offers a wager that she can't refuse: protect him from a ruthless queen, and he'll protect the Crows when he reigns.
A too-cunning bodyguard
Hawk warrior Tavin has always put Jas's life before his, magically assuming the prince's appearance and shadowing his every step. But what happens when Tavin begins to want something to call his own?
