The Wings of a Falcon

Oriel was special. The Damall's cruelty could not corrupt him. Griff admired him. Because Griff's way was different: he'd learnt to keep down and out of sight, to bow in the face of force. The two boys became friends and helpmates. The author won the Newbery Award for "Dicey's Song".
