Millions of years ago, there was a war between birds and beasts. Bats, who didn't take a side, were condemned by the other animals to an eternity of night, to never be able to go in the sunlight again. Shade is a young Silverwing bat, the runt of his colony. One day, when he dares another bat to go into the sunlight, Shade is caught by an owl and is brought to the Silverwing Elders for punishment. When the Elders decide not to reprimand shade, the owls burn down the Silverwing's home, Tree Haven, and its inhabitants are forced to migrate to their winter roost, Hibernaculum. On the way, however, the Silverwings are caught in the middle of a storm and Shade is separated from the rest of the colony. He is found by Marina, a Brightwing bat. When Shade tells her of his story, she agrees to help him find his family. Along the journey they meet new allies and dark enemies, an albino bat with the ability to see the future, a cannibalistic vampire bat who has an agenda of his own, and a strange bat colony that wishes to become human. Despite these challenges, will Shade and Marina make it to the Hibernaculum, and will the journey change them both, forever?
Silverwing is the first book in the series, creation-wise that is. Chronologically, Darkwing takes place first, set in prehistoric times. This book is filled with mystery and suspense. I loved the series as a whole and cried at the end of the last book, long story.
