Darian's Tale
Larry Dixon & Mercedes Lackey · 3 novels · 1997–1999
When his hunter parents vanish into the forest without a trace, young Darian is left apprenticed to a wizard he constantly clashes with, until an attack on his village forces him to flee into the deep woods. Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon's Darian's Tale, set in the Valdemar universe, follows him as he's taken in by the mysterious, non-human Hawkbrothers and shaped into someone capable of defending his own people. The trilogy -- Owlflight, Owlsight, and Owlknight -- is as much a coming-of-age story as a war story.
