Starling

Home has twelve wagons. And someone is counting them.

Seventeen-year-old Alexander Corvith has never known a home that stood still.

Raised among the merchants, performers, hunters, and craftsmen of the Starling Caravan, Alexander has spent his life traveling from one kingdom to the next. Along the way, he has learned the skills of countless teachers-how to track through the wilderness, move unseen through a crowd, balance high above the ground, and defend himself against an opponent.

But Alexander is a student of many masters, and a master of none.

Restless, curious, and eager to discover what lies beyond the next horizon, he dreams of becoming an adventurer. The great Guild Halls, unfamiliar fighting schools, and distant kingdoms promise a world of possibilities. Yet one mystery has followed him his entire life: why must he hide his true name whenever the caravan enters a new town?

When an unfamiliar traveler begins taking an unusual interest in the caravan, seemingly ordinary encounters give way to troubling questions. Strange markings, suspicious road closures, and unexplained inquiries suggest that someone is watching their movements.

And as the caravan continues its journey, Alexander begins to realize that the roads he has traveled all his life may conceal dangers his mentors have never spoken of.

Soon, everything he has learned-and every bond he has formed-will be tested.

STARLING: The Caravan begins an epic fantasy adventure filled with martial arts, friendship, mystery, and the extraordinary lives of ordinary people.

Because an adventure may begin with the desire to see the world.

But sometimes, the greatest reason to travel is to find your way back home.
