Zahra is a scraebin and a fairy. No bigger than a young robin, she's The Convener Fairy on whose shoulders the fate of her kind rests. Or it would, if she could remember who she was. Not long after marking her 13th year, Zahra wakes up with a blank memory, leaving those closest to her feeling hopeless. It is Zahra's destiny to face the Fire Mushrooms and await the Crimson Eagle-but first, she must reawaken her memories.

Set in the Birkhead Wilderness of the Uwharrie Mountains in central North Carolina, Crimson Eagle is the fifth and final book in the award-winning Zahra of the Uwharries series that chronicles Zahra's unique and critical role in saving her species.
