The Wingfeather Saga is a series of four fantasy novels plus a "Creaturepedia" written by singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson, consisting of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, North! Or Be Eaten, The Monster in the Hollows, and The Warden and the Wolf King. The series chronicles the adventures and transformations of a family called Igiby (grandfather Podo, mother Nia, and three children, Janner, Tink, and Leeli), as they discover secrets of their family history, flee the evil Fangs of Dang who are occupying the country of Skree where the Igibys were raised, seek their place in the world, and make a stand against the mysterious ruler behind the Fangs, Gnag the Nameless.
In "North! Or be eaten" Janner and his family must flee to the Ice Prairies to escape the vicious Fangs of Dang. But first, they have to escape Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Bend, and the Fork Factory, where children get taken by the Black Carriage to make swords and weapons (and forks) for the Fangs.
"The Monster in the Hollows" and "The Warden and the Wolf King" continue the family's story as they travel to the Green Hollows and, finally, confront Gnag the Nameless.
Animated series
In March 2016 a Kickstarter was successfully funded[1] to produce a pilot episode for an animated series adaptation. That campaign also funded a series of short stories set in the world of Aerwiar. The stories were written by Andrew Peterson, Jennifer Trafton, N.D. Wilson, A.S. Peterson, Jonathan Rogers, and Douglas Kaine McKelvey. They were illustrated by Cory Godbey, Nicholas Kole, John Hendrix, Joe Sutphin, Doug TenNapel, Justin Gerard, and Aedan Peterson[2]; and the musical score was composed by The Arcadian Wild and Kurt Heinecke.[3]
The fifteen-minute short film, titled A Crow for the Carriage, was premiered on November 2, 2017 at Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee.[4] The short is available for streaming on multiple platforms.[5] The series' producer, J. Chris Wall, and author, Andrew Peterson, are currently in the process of pitching the show to film and television outlets.[6]
