Nightingale

Description

Bron Jones was abandoned at birth. Thrown into foster care, he was rejected by one family after another, until he met Olivia, a gifted and devoted high-school teacher who recognized him for what he really was–what her people call a “nightingale.”
But Bron isn’t ready to learn the truth. There are secrets that have been hidden from mankind for hundreds of thousands of years, secrets that should remain hidden. Some things are too dangerous to know. Bron’s secret may be the most dangerous of all.

In his remarkable young adult fantasy debut, David Farland shows why critics have called his work “compelling,” “engrossing,” “powerful,” “profound,” and “ultimately life-changing.”

“Nightingale has got superb world-building, strong characters, and Farland’s characteristic excellent prose. It was a quick read, fast moving, very fun!”

Brandon Sanderson, #1 International Bestselling author of the Wheel of Time Series

“A thrilling ride of a novel with plenty of twists, action, and amazing characters. I burned through it. Highly recommended!”

James Dashner, New York Times Best Selling author of The Maze Runner

“A Wonderful, engaging tale of a lost young man trying to find his humanity, even though he’s not quite human.”

Kevin J. Anderson, #1 International Bestselling author of the Dune series.

“Despite its fantastic permise, the book is a touching tale of the dreams and hopes of a young man abandoned at birth and making his way in the world.”

-Hollywood Book Festival

“Farland is simply one of the best sci-fi and fantasy writers alive.”
