Overview / 简介: |
To prove his goodness, young Nyroc will renounce his name, his mother, and his inheritance to seek the holiest of relics from The Beyond the Beyond.
Nyroc has exiled himself from the Pure Ones. He flies alone, feared and despised by those who know him as Kludd's son, hunted by those whose despotism he has rejected, and haunted by ghostly creatures conjured by Nyra to lure him back to the Pure Ones. He yearns for a place he only half believes in -- the great tree -- and an uncle -- the near-mythic Soren -- who might be a true father to him. Yet he cannot approach the tree while the rumor of evil clings to him. To prove his worth, Nyroc will fly to The Beyond the Beyond seeking the legendary Relic and bring it, a talisman of his own |

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book was really great! The plot was well focused, and a lot of the characters grew and developed. It, of course, was focused on destiny, and this is the book where Nyroc, now named Coryn, finally fufills part of that magnificent destiny.
Nyroc, rejected by the Pure Ones and by even the peacable owls, is an outcast, flying alone and thinking of all that has happened. But in Ambala he meets up with an old friend of Soren, and with his free will goes to a lawless place- Beyond the Beyond- where he believes his destiny will come true. However, when Coryn saves an egg for a family of Burrowing Owls, he isn't as sure of what that destiny is.
When he reaches the Beyond, he meets a "gnaw wolf" in a pack of dire wolves. This wolf has a lame leg and as the tradition of the pack remains, he must go to the Sacred Volcanoes where the Ember of Hoole lies, waiting for the new king. Meanwhile, Otulissa meets Gwyndor in the Beyond, and they together find Nyroc. Otulissa believes Coryn is the true heir of Hoole and teaches him basic colliering (which Coryn is awesome at).
Little does Coryn know that his mother is coming for him, and is recruiting desperate dire wolves for her army. And at a crucial moment, it becomes a race for the Ember within one of the volcanoes and a new king must emerge- or die trying.
Like I said, this book was T3H 00B3R3ST. It is definitely worth your read and we get to actually hear upon how Soren is! Yay! I really loved the depth in it and it was rather beautiful. Kathryn Lasky did a good job and deserves several pats on the back! Another great book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole! |
