Summary: A Wonderful Book
Review: From the cover: "When Taverik Zandro impulsively befriended a struggling young fellow merchant, he had no idea of that youth's desperate secret: something of a black sheep himself, he had no desire to become involved in affairs outside of the oridnary. But afte rthat first helping hand, the youth's turbulent past entangles Taverik in a world of high politics and dark magic, and turns his own comfortably materialistic way of life upside down in more ways than one. When it is proven to him that he has been chosen along with Marco to defend the land against an encroaching evil that seems inexorable, Zandro wants nothing to do with his god-given role. Of course, he has no choice..."

Hawk's Flight is an enjoyable book about a young man with a corrupt father growing into the person he wants to be. The setting is midieval with magic, the plot fast paced, the characters intersting. My only regret is that Carol Chase apparently never wrote anything else.
