From the publisher

See below for English description.

Il y a 65 millions d'annes, alors que les mammifres envahissent la plante, remplaant peu peu les dinosaures en voie d'extinction, Ombre, un chiroptre, dcouvre qu'il est diffrent. Il peut battre des ailes et voler, contrairement ses semblables de la tribus des Ailes d'Argent, qui ne peuvent que planer. vitant l'exil de justesse grce son pre, le chef de la tribu, Ombre demeure avec les siens. Il ne se doute pas qu'il devra les sauver du massacre et les guider lors d'un prilleux voyage vers un endroit o fonder leur nouveau foyer.

Darkwing, un portrait surprenant d'une re tourmente, l'histoire d'Ombre, la toute premire chauve-souris.

Before there were bats like Shade, Marina or even Goth, there was a young chiropter--a small arboreal glider--named Dusk. Unlike other chiropters, who can only glide down from their colony's home in a giant sequoia tree, Dusk can actually fly, a skill that makes him an outcast. But when Carnassial, a felid, and one of the world's first mammalian carnivores, leads a savage massacre of the chiropters, Dusk's strange ability transforms him into the colony's saviour.
