Erdas is a land of balance. A rare link, the spirit animal bond,
bridges the human and animal worlds. Conor, Abeke, Meilin and Rollan
each have this gift — and the grave responsibility that comes with it. But
the Conquerors are trying to destroy this balance. They are setting the
world on fire, swallowing whole cities in their rush for power —
including Meilin's home. Fed up with waiting and ready to fight, Meilin
has set off into enemy territory with her spirit animal, a panda named
Jhi. Her friends aren't far behind ... but they're not the only ones. The enemy is everywhere.
