Soren, a young barn owl, lives in the Tyto Forest in Illinois with his family; his father, Noctus; his mother, Marella; his older brother, Kludd; his younger sister, Eglantine; and Mrs. P, the family’s nest maid, a kind blind snake. At St. Aegolius, the owlets are greeted by the Pure Ones’ queen Nyra, who says that they will be divided into either soldiers or pickers.
