-->Kenneth Oppel, "Author's Note" in ''Silverwing''
The ''Silverwing'' trilogy is a series of books written by Kenneth Oppel, consisting of ''Silverwing'' (1997), ''Sunwing'' (1999), and ''Firewing'' (2002). They're a sort of {{Goth}}ic-esque fantasy adventure about bats, specifically the main character, Shade, a small Silverwing bat who is frequently mocked and called "Runt". After breaking one of the animal world's biggest rules, becoming a fugitive, and getting lost at sea during a migration, Shade goes on a wild adventure with a new friend, street-smart {{Tomboy}} Marina Brightwing. Things get worse when Goth and Throbb, two giant carnivorous bats from Brazil, escape a research facility and begin killing birds and other creatures at will. The little bats get blamed for it, landing Shade and his colony in a battle for the rights of all their kind.
