    About this ebook

    Light-Wing is a young male eagle. He has everything a bird could want, strong, nimble body; good territory, but there is something missing. An emptiness inside him that cannot be satiated. He doesn't understand this strange new feeling, the longing he feels inside is alien to him. Until he sees Sharp-Eye for the first time. Then he knows what it is that his life has been lacking. Come with us on this beautiful tale of hardships and heartbreaks. Based on some true stories, flavoured with some poetic licence.

      Us Animals: Writing the Natural World Back into the Human

      Light-wing was a young male eagle. Although he did not know it yet, he was about to enter his first breeding season. He had been named Light-wing because his left wing had been injured during one of the many beatings he had received, while still a fledgling ‘at the beak’ of his bigger, stronger and just older sister.
