Palaces of the Crow

Set against the tumult of 1941 Lithuania, this speculative novel by Ray Nayler follows four young teens—each from different backgrounds—who form a deep bond and seek safety in the forest amid the chaos of war. With the help of a mysterious flock of highly intelligent crows, they navigate the dangers posed by both human and environmental threats. Narrated by Eunice Wong, the story weaves themes of survival, loyalty, and hope into a haunting tale of resilience during dark times.
