With both Shade and Goth trying to find Griffin, Goth catches up first. Since Zotz cannot harm the living, he tells Goth that he will be given a second chance at life if he kills Griffin. Goth bargains for a way to regain Zotz' trust. Zotz appears and explains that Goth is to be tortured because of his failure to free Zotz during the last eclipse. After members of his own species try to capture him and subject him to slave labour, Goth demands an explanation from Zotz. Meanwhile, Goth awakens in the underworld and discovers that he is dead. Armed with Frieda's sound map, Griffin and Luna head out to find the Tree. Frieda believes that the Tree will send Griffin back home, as he is alive. The Pilgrim, Frieda, tells them about a gigantic, incandescent Tree, which supposedly sends dead bats that enter it to another, more enjoyable afterlife. Fortunately, a group of Pilgrims (bats who realize they are dead) arrive and rekindle Luna's memory of Griffin. Griffin discovers that the recently deceased Luna has become a member of the colony and has no memory of him. The bats are wary of Griffin because, as he is still alive, he appears to glow to them. There, Griffin discovers a colony of bats that are unaware that they are dead. When Shade is unable to find his son, the Elders give him two days to search the Underworld before promising to seal the crack again. An earthquake opens the crack up wider and Griffin is sucked into the Underworld, unknown to the Silverwing colony. Guilt-stricken, Griffin flies into the lower levels of Tree Haven and discovers a crack that leads to the Underworld. Unfortunately, Luna is accidentally set on fire, killing her. Fearing rejection by his father, Griffin, perhaps inspired by the story of the fate of Old Tree Haven, steals fire from human campers to show his bravery. Slower and more clumsy than non-hybrids, Griffin's only real friend is Luna, a popular fellow newborn. It is the third book in the series which also consists of: Silverwing, Sunwing and the prequel, Darkwing.Ī few years following the repealment of the Law, Griffin Silverwing is the newborn son of Shade Silverwing and Marina Brightwing. Firewing is a children's book written by the Canadian author, Kenneth Oppel.
