Old friends, 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 & the Band follow their new king to strange parts to guard him from the consequences of his obsession.

Ratings and reviews

As the band + Coryn search out Nyra and evil wolves. The rest of the owls are dealing with being overly obsessed with the ember while Otulissa and Primrose are arrested and held prisoners within the great tree.

Not as good as some of the earlier books, but I liked it.

The last books were so much better
