Author Description

In the city of Neha, there lives Vaceilia, a bird with the most extraordinary feathers. Each year her greedy owner holds a contest to see which man can bring him the rarest treasure. The winners are awarded one of Vaceilia's feathers. To prove his love to the girl who has captivated his heart since youth, a brave young man named Kamar sets off to win a legendary feather of Vaceilia. But what happens instead changes his heart forever. This is their story of love, adventure, self-sacrifice, and the pricelessness of freedom. "No one is too little or too young to make a difference.
