An army has overrun and destroyed the royal council and much of the kingdom of Riland’s leadership. Now Gavin Stoutheart’s father, the baron, is missing, along with Gavin’s brother the heir—both presumed dead.
After tormenting his instructors and father for years with his rebellious antics, Gavin must step up to lead his people as they flee before an invading army, one that can outpace his motley collection of castle staff, peasants, and children. Gavin’s only hope for survival is the forbidden animal magic wielded by his closest friends combined with his gift for strategy as he searches for allies along their trail.
Will it be enough to keep them alive as they desperately trek through a fractured, leaderless kingdom? For the army of human and animal predators will show no mercy.
Rating: Moderate. Moderate violence or horror.
