Description

New world . . . new adventure! Join Tariq and his friends on a quest to find the second Spiritstone. Elemental magic and ancient legend combine in this epic fantasy trilogy for readers aged 9+ by New York Times bestselling author Sarwat Chadda.

Tariq and his friends Livia and Artos have set sail to New Ethrial on a quest to find the Crocodile's Tear, a Spiritstone stolen centuries ago. Deep in the forest, Tariq encounters an old enemy and makes a powerful new friend - Imex, a shapeshifting seer. Imex takes Tariq to the Temple of Beasts, where he learns how to become different animals - from a panther to an eagle.

Tariq's friends are worried - could Imex be using Tariq to reunite the long-lost Spiritstones and satisfy her own thirst for power? This richly imagined adventure blends themes of classic fantasy and world mythology with a timely message about protecting the environment.
