findthatbookLooking for a short series (2 or 3) books that I read as a pre-teen.
I'm pretty sure the main part of the story revolved around a female character trying to escape a ruling class of bird-like (?) people.
There are really only one thing I remember clearly... that there was a river that turned living creatures who fell into it into wood. There was a ship captain who had pulled out a pregnant woman who had fallen in. He sketched her everyday and realized she was trying to speak,but moving super slowly. I think he ended up removing her child, who was then some kind of living wood creature.
These weren't the main characters from what I can remember. I really hope this rings a bell with someone, it's been bothering me for the last 15 years!
