Young gull Lazarus (crew name Flick) is living his best life—in St Ives, flapping and filching with his friends, his crew.
His father, Solmondor, still believes in fishing and foraging—the noble arts, he calls them—but that’s hard work, and what’s the point when humans provide everything?
Yet the past has a way of catching up.
And a dark shadow is on the move.
