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.
