What is A Secret of Birds & Bone about?

In a plague-ravaged Italian city, twelve-year-old Sofia’s mother creates beautiful keepsakes from the bones of the dead. When she disappears, Sofia and her little brother, Ermin, are sent to a strict convent orphanage. Determined to find their mother, they escape with an enigmatic new friend and their pet crow, Corvith. Following mysterious clues hidden in bones, the children journey through underground passages and towards Siena’s towers, where they uncover a dark secret surrounded by magpies.
