When humans start destroying the majestic Dunlath Valley, the wolves seek out Daine to intervene. She arrives with a small band of helpers--Numair, King Jonathan`s greatest mage, Cloud, her pony, and Skysong, a small dragon--each unaware of the awesome challenge that lies ahead of them. Daine must once more call upon her wild magic, going even deeper, to organize her animal friends to fight in a cataclysmic battle.
