{"product_id":"2940169740455","title":"The Bird and the Sword","description":"Swallow, daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them `til they¿ve time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, `til the hour. You won¿t speak and you won¿t tell, you won¿t call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, daughter. Stay alive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldn¿t speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would sell his soul and lose his son to the sky. My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my mother¿s words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free. But freedom will require escape, and I¿m a prisoner of my mother¿s curse and my father¿s greed. I can¿t speak or make a sound, and I can¿t wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?","brand":"Emily Padraic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102164271344,"sku":"2940169740455","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169740455_p0.jpg?v=1763692927","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169740455","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
