Summary: As a dark force engulfs the land, the fate of Erdas has fallen on the shoulders of four young strangers who each have forged a rare bond with their spirit beasts -- a bond that gives great powers to all of them.
Review: This book is the first in the series and each book within the series is written by a different author (similar to the 39 Clues series and Infinity Ring series). I really like the concept of this book because I feel it hasn’t been done before. When children reach the age of eleven, they take part in a ceremony that requires them to drink a special nectar which helps them call a spirit animal (if they can call one at all). Four children from different parts of the world not only summon spirit animals but they summon the fallen four, which before they were summoned were all but whispers in legends. This was a fast paced book that kept your attention and went back and forth between the four characters perspectives and showed how each interacted as well as bonded with their spirit animals. There was a lot of action that propelled the story and I enjoyed that each kid had their own unique background and I felt that it became more realistic when each kid struggled with their spirit animals and the situation in different ways. I will be looking forward to the next book.
