Publisher's Summary

After the time of the legends, the tale of the Guardians returns to the present in which Soren, the hero of books 1-6 in the New York Times best-selling Guardians of Ga’Hoole series, must train a new king. Get ready for old friends and new adventures!

Coryn, Soren, and the Band preside over a new golden age of the Great Tree under the subtle influence of the ember. All seems well, but beneath the prosperity of peace, Coryn is tortured by the suspicion that his evil mother, Nyra, is a hagsfiend and that his own blood carries the haggish taint. He wanders afar, searching for the truth from hagsfiends themselves - putting the Great Tree in danger.

Soren and the Band follow their new king to strange parts to guard him from the consequences of his obsession.

Critic Reviews

"Lasky has developed a unique series - a fantastical rendering of a world of owls. Characters run the gamut of owl species and each embodies actual traits of that species. Lasky’s knowledge and love of owls is obvious.… Readers will come away knowing more about these birds." ( Children’s Literature)

This Book is AMAZING!

I love the series of guardians of ga’hoole, and really all of Kathryn Lasky’s books. This book was so amazing because of the amount of detail and time it would of taken to make this book. It tells an interesting story about Coryn and his marvellous expedition around the hoolian kingdoms. Then there was the owls that became obsessed with the ember, mainly Gemma and Yema. I love the expression that the narrator has used. Well done on creating a fantastic piece!
