Bookseller recommendation

“H Is for Hawk meets Middle Eastern mythology in this quietly fierce, beautifully wrought novella that will hold your heart in its talons. Since childhood, Ester has had a single focus—join the royal rukhers, hunting with rocs, giant, deadly birds of prey capable of killing manticores, the beasts who slayed her family…but the relationship she forges with her roc Zahra and her fellow rukhers will fly Ester far beyond the vengeance she’s dreamed of. ”
— Megan • Underground Books

Summary

From World Fantasy Award–winning author Fonda Lee comes an epic fantasy fable about the pursuit of obsession at all costs.

Ester’s family was torn apart when a manticore killed her mother and baby brother, leaving her with nothing but her father’s painful silence and a single, overwhelming need to kill the monsters that took her family.

Ester’s path leads her to the king’s Royal Mews, where the giant rocs of legend are flown to hunt manticores by their brave and dedicated ruhkers. Paired with a fledgling roc named Zahra, Ester finds purpose and acclaim by devoting herself to a calling that demands
absolute sacrifice and a creature that will never return her love. The terrifying partnership between woman and roc leads Ester not only on the empire’s most dangerous manticore hunt, but on a journey of perseverance and acceptance.
