  4. About the Book: Swordbird The evil hawk lord Turnatt has gathered together crows and ravens to help him enslave the woodbirds and turn the blue jay and the cardinal tribes against each other. But Miltin, a brave robin enslaved by Turnatt, breaks free to warn the woodbirds. He then turns to the young blue jay Aska for help in assembling the blue jay and cardinal tribes to free the slavebirds from Fortress Glooming. The war is on and only Swordbird, son of the Great Spirit, can bring peace and freedom to the land. As the blue jay Glenagh searches the Old Scripture for the song that will bring Swordbird to their aid, Miltin and Aska journey to the White Cap Mountains to retrieve one of the seven jewels that Swordbird requires.
