Lewin’s quiet life changes on the day he turns sixteen and finds out that he is a sky reader – he has the power to read the past, the present and the future. Lewin leaves home to learn the ways of old magic from his grandfather Laylan. When they start to see dark, troubling visions, the two sky readers realise they must make a journey to the city of Liana to help save their land from evil. The Sky Readers, like The Singing Stones, is a story from the Avondel Chronicles.
