BEFORE THERE WERE PEOPLE, THERE WERE BEASTS . . . The island of
Ramoa was once luscious and populated with mighty beasts. Now
though, it is home to barren and tamed cities, where nature is
locked out and trouble is brewing. When Kayla's beloved animal
companion, a rare winged pangron, is stolen, she's determined to
get him back. But to do so, she'll have to leave her city and
journey into the wild and forbidden Beastlands. There, she meets
Rustus, an exiled young warrior, and Alethea, a healer desperately
seeking a cure for a mysterious disease. As their quests unite
them, they'll adventure across the lands they know so little about,
leading them to discoveries both great and terrifying. Not least

terrifying after all... The first instalment in an epic new fantasy
