Book description
The Prequel to Swordbird - another epic fantasy from fourteen-year-old
child prodigy Nancy Yi Fan, with beautiful illustrations by Mark Zug.
Sworquest will be published globally by HarperCollins. An exciting and
action-packed tale of birds at war, this novel shows how friendship and
courage can overcome tyranny.
Sworquest follows the life of Wind-Voice, the heroic dove of peace, and
how he wins his magical sword. Wind-Voice and his companions, a
woodpecker and a mynah bird, join the rebel bird forces to fight against
their oppressors, the archaeopteryxes.
Once again Nancy creates a richly imagined bird world full of fanciful
characters, adventure and intrigue. Nancy Yi Fan was born in 1993 in
Beijing, China. She moved to New York with her parents when she was
seven years old and graduated with excellence from US elementary school
in 2004. She now lives on the beautiful Hainan Island, China's most
southerly province, with her parents and her three pet birds. When she's
not writing, Nancy loves bird-watching, kung fu sword-playing, and
reading. Her favorite place in the world is the library.
