Description
Where there are legends, there can be hope.
Where there are legends, there can be dreams of knightly
owls from a kingdom called Ga’Hoole, who will rise each night into the
blackness and perform noble deeds. Owls who speak no words but true ones.
Owls whose only purpose is to right all wrongs, to make strong the weak,
mend the broken, vanquish the proud, and make powerless those
who abuse the frail. With hearts sublime, they take flight…”
Author's notes:

A few common words used in the realm of Ga’Hoole:
Ga'Hoole: a legendary kingdom of guardian knights that have sworn an ancient oath to make strong the weak, mend the broken, vanquish evil, and make powerless those who abuse the frail.
Ga: a word that explains greatness in the form of seeds that grow within an owl's gizzard and not all owls have such seeds.
Hoole: a king from ancient times that was thought to have lived 1000 years ago and was the one to have raised the kingdom of Ga'Hoole to what this great tree now is.
Gizzard: A second stomach owls have for digesting food In it, food waste is pressed into a neat little pack to be thrown vomited from the beak (yarped). For owls, it works like the human heart; where the strongest emotions are felt.
Hrath: a king from older times than Hoole who was the one to have set the code of honor for knights.
Hagsmire: Hell.
Glaumora: Heaven.
Battle Claws: powerful metal talons that can slip over those of owls
Botkin: a special bag for carrying attached to an owl's for for carrying light necessities.
