Song birds are falling silent across the land. Flying is becoming ever more difficult. The magical flightlines, highways of music in the air along which all birds travel, are beginning to fade and die. An evil malaise lies over the bird kingdom as ravens, crows and rooks impose a brutal dictatorship. But cometh the hour, cometh the duck. Young mallard Kingston Windrush sets out on a mighty quest to stop the spiral into darkness and to find the King Stone, the mysterious and life-changing force behind the flightlines.
