In this sequel to Darkbeast, Keara, Goran, and Taggart are betrayed to the Inquisitors and will be forced to kill their companion darkbeasts at the new moon. Keara's tentative friendship with Dillon, heir to the throne, offers a sliver of hope. The plot has difficulty gaining traction in this shakier volume, but sympathetic characters are enough to carry fans through.
