The Unraveling: The Council of Crows is about groups of animals fighting the evil Sorceress and her followers for control of the world after she was able to spread a disease to kill off all of the humans. A lot of the characters are birds, but there are several other wild creatures involved as well. The book has the structure of an epic fantasy, where you follow different storylines until they converge into one. One of these storylines centers around a small bird named Twig, who is chased from his home by the enemy force.
