Kathryn Lasky is the nationally bestselling author of many books for children and adults, including the Newbery Honor Book Sugaring Time ; Elizabeth I and other popular books in the Royal Diaries series; and the bestselling epic fantasy series Guardians of Ga'hoole, which became a major motion picture. In Guardians of Ga'hoole, Lasky explores the behavior of owls. Now she uses her extensive research on hawks and the sport of falconry to again render a world that seamlessly blends natural history with fantasy. The author and her husband, Christopher Knight, live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and summer on an island off the coast of Maine. There she enjoys watching peregrine falcons soar on the thermal drafts above the cove where she swims.
“Kathryn Lasky’s latest is a sleight-of-hand that will have you
clapping your hands... With the brio and big-heart that
characterizes all of Lasky’s work, this opening salvo of a new
series can be heralded with trumpet fanfares and clouds of rose
petals.” — Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Egg & Spoon
“A convincing, compelling time-travel series rife with Tudor
drama.” — Kirkus Reviews

historical fantasy.” — School Library Journal
“Catnip for readers who enjoy immersion in the period detail of
times past, and they’ll welcome the promise of other periods and
places to come.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Will leave readers hoping for a sequel.” — Booklist
