"Carried in by a strong wind, a tiny creature named Hekla twirls delicately into a crater, falling at the feet--and, very suddenly, into the life--of an old giant named Laki. Each is vastly different from the other: Laki is a solitary being, preferring order and calmness, while Hekla is young, spirited, and messy. But in their newfound state of coexistence, they learn to live together and help each other grow, forging an attachment that binds them in life--and in death. Inspired by two Icelandic volcanoes."--Publisher description.

"From the moment he was born, all Milo has ever known is knighthood s, ss, sleeps, and breathes it every momenf of his lfie, never taking his armor off even for a minute. After all, Milo lives in the shadow of generation upon generation of knights before him and feels duty-bound to defend his colony should a dragon ever attack. But while training one day, rain begins to fall and eventually turns Milo's armor to a pile of rust, leaving the young knight weakened and unable to move. It isn't until a chance encounter with a court jester, who helps him shed his armor and lay down his spear, that Milo has his first taste of freedom."--Provided by publisher.
