Silverwing is a book about a bat named Shade, runt of the Silverwing colony, who manages to get his home burned down by the owls, main enemy of the bats. Shade looked at the sun, breaking the laws of nature in doing so. The colony migrates early, but Shade is separated from the others in a storm and ends up on an island. There he meets the Brightwing bat Marina, and they both set off to find Shade's colony. They meet with some huge cannibal bats called Goth and Throbb, but soon realize the danger to both them and the Silverwing colony. Goth becomes the sworn enemy of Shade, and their battles continue on in the sequels Sunwing and Firewing. Shade ends up becoming a legend, the hero that is spoken of in stories.
