"Glorious, transcendent, full of warmth and light. Truly a book to treasure." Sophie Anderson, bestselling author of The House With Chicken Legs

'What is death?'
'That's what the humans call the bridge. They fear it very much. And that is why we fly to meet them.'

Barnabel is a young angel who longs for a time he might be allowed to go on to the Bridge. But first he must learn about the Dark Things - pain, loneliness, rage and always fear. So much fear. And only when he is ready to carry these things and outweigh the heaviest human heart will he be able to chase away the shadows and fly all the way over the bridge.
