Plot Summary

tabFour young heroes, chosen to save Erdas from the rising threat of the Devourer, find themselves torn between their quest and the needs of the ones they love.

Each must confront his or her weaknesses in order to understand the spirit animals’ strengths. Conor, normally timid, must rely on Briggan the Wolf to learn to lead. Meilin, a trained warrior, must yield to the peaceful patience of her giant panda, Jhi. However, Rollan and Essix the Falcon’s discernment and Abeke and her leopard Uraza’s courage allow the four to retrieve the talisman of Rumfuss the Boar.
