Summary

The adventure continues in this second audiobook of the epic multiplatform fantasy series.

NARRATOR:
FORMAT: 5 CDs, Unabridged

In the world of Erdas, only a rare few are able to summon a spirit animal in the way Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have. The bond they share with their animals is a partnership that allows them to access more-than-human abilities.

But what if there was another way to create a spirit animal--to force the bond, giving the human partner total control? And what if someone with selfish intensions was offered this gift . . . with a catch?

The four young heroes have barely had time to come together as a team, and their own spirit animal bonds are still greatly untested. But now they face a brutal confrontation against an enemy who will break any rule to defeat them.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-7-Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan continue their quest to get the four talismen needed to defeat the devourer's minions. In this second installment, they discover that a new and sinister way to create the bond between spirit animals and children has been developed, placing a grave threat in their path. They barely have time to train before they're on a new journey, facing ambushes and an unexpected imprisonment in the town where Conor grew up. The story ends with a cliff-hanger when he is blackmailed into giving up something in order to save his family. This second book in the series will not make much sense to readers unless they have read or listened to the first book, Brandon Mull's Wild Born (Scholastic, 2013). The story line and flavor don't suffer a bit for having been written by different authors. Nicola Barber is an excellent choice, as she narrated the first book and continues to make each voice unique. Readers may find the characters' ambivalence in spots annoying, but overall, kids who love adventure, fantasy, and animals will enjoy this audiobook immensely.-John R.
