Welcome to Birddom – a land where magpies rule. Dark forces are at work. An evil intelligence is masterminding their inexorable rise. Dominance has been achieved by systematic genocide and slaughter. In Birddom, blackbird and sparrow have been exterminated. The magpie has replaced the pigeon in the city and the starling in the garden. For small birds throughout the land, survival is everything.

The eagerly awaited sequel to the surprise bestseller by the Sainsbury's supermarket worker turned novelist, Clive Woodall.
