Spirit animals

"All across the world, legends are appearing, Great Beasts--once the most powerful beings in Erdas--are being summoned as spirit animals ... But a mysterious stranger is hunting these legends, just as they are reborn, and he's crushing anyone who stands in his way"--Back cover.

"Shane is just a boy, but in order to free his people, he's resolved to do whatever--to become whomever--his mission requires. Throughout their journey to save the world, Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have faced this dangerous foe again and again. But none have learned truth of the boy who nearly changed the course of history forever."--Publisher.

Four children have discovered that they have spirit animals, a rare bond between human and animal that has launched them on a quest to save their world, but now they realize that there is a traitor in their midst who has been helping their pursuers and they're heading for a deadly trap.

When the Conquerors try to take over and destroy the land of Erdas, Meilin, her friends, and their spirit animals must band together to put a stop to the enemy.

Conor, Abeke, Meilin, Rollan and their spirit animals have been scattered on their quest for the talismans and must make their way into the desert kingdom of animals ruled by Cabaro, the Great Lion, to retrieve the golden talisman he guards.

As a dark force engulfs the land, the fate of Erdas has fallen on the shoulders of four young strangers who each have forged a rare bond with their spirit beasts -- a bond that gives great powers to all of them.

Four children separated by vast distances all undergo the same ritual, watched by cloaked strangers. Four flashes of light erupt, and from them emerge the unmistakable shapes of incredible beasts - a wolf, a leopard, a panda, a falcon. Suddenly the paths of these children - and the world - have been changed for ever. Enter the world of Erdas, where every child who comes of age must discover if they have a spirit animal, a rare bond between human and beast that bestows great powers to both. A dark force has risen from distant and long-forgotten lands, and has begun an onslaught that will ravage the world.

Conor, Abeke, Meilin, Rollan and their spirit animals have only one chance to face an ancient enemy who is breaking free from his prision, or it could mean the end of the world.
