A young falconer finds out that he isn't the only one hiding in the shadows on the old Island of Jade. After being thrown into a secret society, Creyton must test his skills, and his morals, to find that he would kill for what he believes in. It is set on a fictional island called Jade Island, in a time much like that of the late 18th century, early 19th century. Creyton is a nomad falconer, who has trained a waist high Golden Eagle named Eliza, who is more of a companion, than a bird of prey.
