SUMMARY

In the hush between dusk and dawn, they gather: black silhouettes threading the twilight air. Their wings whisper secrets older than sorrow, their eyes glint with knowing. To walk among them is to dwell in the liminal space between omen and oracle, life and death, shadow and song. In the Company of Crows pays homage to one of nature’s most mysterious and storied feathered fowls.
