Shima, a funny overgrown eaglet, is being raised by two human brothers. He knows no worries, his life is full of love and goodies. But on the eve of the winter solstice, the “parents” leave to visit their mother in another city. In their absence, Shima must be looked after by her neighbors - the wizard Larion and his wife Tirra. And so, after the first visit, they understand that the eaglet is by no means an ordinary bird. The action takes place in Aotere - the world of the “Patron Spirits”.
