Raised by crows on the tough streets of crime-ravaged metropolis Blackstone, thirteen-year-old Caw finds himself drawn back into human society when a group of escaped prisoners--who share his ability to speak to animals--threaten to reignite a city-wide war. Batman meets the Spirit Animals series in this story that suffers from inconsistencies but may appeal to fans of bleaker fantasies.
