Spirit Animals Book 6

Deep in the desert there sits a beautiful oasis, ruled by a monarch unlike any other in Erdas. His name is Cabaro, the Great Lion, and he reigns over a kingdom of animals, jealously guarding his golden talisman. No human has ever set foot in the Great Beast's territory. The journey to his oasis is impossible.

As a team, Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have achieved the impossible before. But now that team is broken-the friends scattered by a devastating betrayal.

The young heroes and their spirit animals have already sacrificed much in their quest for the talismans. But with the world crumbling all around them-and a ruthless enemy opposing their every move-their greatest sacrifices are yet to come.

About the Author

Eliot Schrefer has published eight books to date. In reviewing his novel Endangered, The New York Times praised the depth of his characters, saying “As riveting as the action is, it’s the nuanced portraits of the characters, human and ape, that make the story so deeply affecting.” Dennis Abrams of Publishing Perspectives, also discussed in his review of Threatened, the way in which Schrefer “even makes his chimpanzees…into living breathing characters.” In drawing parallels between the bonobo apes and human characters in these novels, Schrefer says that writing about the bonobos “allowed me to address more nakedly the feelings—jealousy, loyalty, anger, sorrow—that we all experience.”
