Plot

The book starts with Abeke and Meilin, their ankles chained together in a closet in a Conqueror ship. Shane comes downwardly, who has been bringing them food and h2o throughout the boat journey, and takes them out onto the ship's deck. They've arrived at a stronghold in Nilo. Abeke spots Zerif, Aidana, and (as they've simply discovered) Shane'southward sister, Drina, among the Conquerors' ranks. Abeke and Meilin are then forced to their knees and kicked into the water by Zerif, despite the ii being weighed downwards by fe chains. Both Shane and Drina panic at this while they practice their best to swim, though the exertion is almost unbearable. They brand it to a sandbar, and from there, they run into General Gar and Grahv, his crocodile spirit animal.

Meanwhile, Conor, Rollan, and Tarik travel across Nilo, searching for Okaihee. Rollan, using his newfound abilities with Essix, looks through the gyrfalcon'south optics and watches every bit an elephant breaks through Okaihee's palisades. They assume that it is a Bile-fed elephant. The squad runs into the village, and a girl comes up and presses a sharp stick against Rollan'due south windpipe, but soon relents and tells them that her name is Irtike and that Chinwe, her mother and the Greencloak they've been searching for, is dead. She also reveals that Abeke'due south father, Pojalo, is the new chieftain.

When they speak to Pojalo, it's clear he wants nil to do with his daughter and denies them help in finding Cabaro. A scrawny lion slinks into the hut with them, but it'southward quickly defeated by Briggan and Essix. Conor is outraged and defends Abeke to Pojalo which Tarik and Rollan are proud of. The team is dismissed by Pojalo and they set up off for the Golden King of beasts. They run into hundreds of travelling baboons and are almost trampled by them before Irtike reveals herself, having followed them with the help of her naked mole rat spirit animal. Rollan says that information technology'south uglier than a walrus and nicknames him Snake Optics. Since Serpent Eyes helps Irtike to sense tremors in the ground and knows which direction to head, they let her lead.

Meilin dreams about Jhi, fighting The Devourer, Gerathon, and the Bile. She thinks that she is strangling Gerathon in her dreams, but it is in fact Abeke. When she wakes up and sees the wounds on her friend, Meilin apologizes, ashamed. Shane comes in soon after, instructing the girls to put their spirit animals into passive mode and go up with him to see General Gar, and if they refuse, he's been ordered to kill them.

Conor, Rollan, Tarik, and Irtike were all sleeping in a partially charred hut, except for Conor, who lies awake. He watches as hundreds of birds cross the heaven, lulling him to sleep. When he wakes, Essix seems to take institute something. They follow her, coming to a rising overlooking a narrow pass through the cliffs where a recent bloodbath had occurred. Animal carcasses are strewn across the ground, crushed against the sides of the cliffs by the passing fauna herds.

Conquerors run through the cliffs, blending into the wildebeest herd on their steeds. A wall of ostriches protects the passage to Cabaro from whatsoever humans and kick the Conquerors' helmets, killing them, when they attempt to pass through. Since no humans are allowed to pass, the team makes the decision to send their spirit animals to Cabaro'due south oasis alone.

Tarik tells Rollan virtually his sister, Reima. Briggan and Essix set off with Rollan watching through Essix's eyes. The spirit animals reach the oasis soon after, and Briggan, enlarged by the Slate Elephant, has to topple several palm trees to suspension through the forested barrier effectually the oasis. In one case they reach the center of Cabaro's territory, the Nifty Lion himself walks into the immigration with his lionesses. He taunts them for a bit because they've go spirit animals and at their smaller sizes. He tries to convince them to join him in his oasis, only Essix goes for the talisman instead. Cabaro's lionesses attack, and a pack of wild dogs follow. Rollan is then abruptly ripped from Essix'south eyes to expect at the army of Conquerors approaching the canyon.

Dorsum in the Conquistador camp, Shane puts a sack over Abeke's and Meilin's heads as they're taken into a courtyard. Gerathon and Gar are there. The serpent speaks to them about the state of war, and Meilin loses her temper a few times and shouts at her. Gerathon retracts her fangs and allows a drop of venom to autumn to the ground. It lands on Drina's foot, and she says "And then foul" every bit she tries to milk shake it off. ^[3] Yumaris helps to keep Drina however as Gerathon takes control of Iskos, her spider spirit animal, and forces him to kill Drina. Shane, angered by his sister's expiry, helps Abeke and Meilin escape onto his family's send, merely Meilin refuses to get. She knows that she can't, since Gerathon can command her whenever she wants, and Abeke and Shane leave without her.

Meanwhile, the others spotter as the Conquerors slaughter all of the attack ostriches and accept their armies through the narrow cliffs. Irtike senses the hoofbeats of expressionless Conqueror's horses, and they ride on them after the Conquerors, hoping to surpass them. Unfortunately, with the help of Essix, Rollan senses another army of Conquerors backside them, with Gerathon upwards front.

They achieve the oasis, ahead of the enemy, and find Briggan merely emerging from the forest surrounding information technology. He is badly injured, just still manages to guide them to the center of the oasis where Cabaro lies. Tarik beseeches him to flee with the Greencloaks, but he doesn't listen. The Cracking Lion talks beguilingly with them as he edges closer to Briggan before pouncing, cutting off his windpipe. The lionesses go towards them, but Conor reaches Cabaro and sinks his axe into his side. This only infuriates him. Wild dogs make it next, and only afterward Conor calls a bleeding Briggan into passive state, the Conquerors arrive.

Meilin, in a much less intense situation than her friends, sits in the corner of a customs house, waiting for the Conquerors to notice her. She decides to go dorsum for an armory she saw on the run there, and Jhi takes out a immature baby-sit when Meilin doesn't attack him. When they reach the armory, she finds a pair of manacles and pits them on them, hiding the key that unlocks them. When Meilin admits that she's ashamed of how she treated her, Jhi comforts her, lying next to her so that she wouldn't be lonely. Every bit the first Conquerors barge into the armory, she tells Jhi how lucky she is that she summoned her.

Gerathon arrives in the oasis first, killing 2 lionesses before Cabaro lunges and grabs her from behind the hood. She whips him away and he lands betwixt Conor and Rollan. He sends Rollan flying with a huge paw, and Tarik finds Rollan and the team splits upward. They travel through a coulee, but Cabaro sends a boulder down as Gerathon and Gar approach, trapping them in. Gerathon lunges at Rollan, but Tarik puts himself in forepart of Rollan and is bitten instead. Rollan is forced to leave Tarik, who has no chances of surviving, but manages to seize his green cloak earlier retreating. He uses the Coral Octopus to sideslip betwixt the bedrock and onto the other, safer side.

Meanwhile, Conor and Irtike flee into the copse. They climb up a cliff and reach the summit of the haven. From there, they see Cabaro, and vice versa. He runs for them, but Irtike uses her powers over the earth to course a sinkhole, trapping The Great Lion in the soil. Conor grabs the Golden Lion and they follow Essix to detect Rollan, huddled on the basis with Tarik's cloak. As they go to climb downwards the canyon, they find it bustling with Conquerors. Cabaro leaps from the sinkhole without Irtike holding him in anymore, distracting the enemy while the team tries to escape once more, but Gerathon blocks their path down. They detect themselves trapped between the ophidian's jaws and the Conquerors, so Conor uses the Golden King of beasts and roars. They were nonetheless trapped, though, so Irtike uses her powers again and collapses the entire cliff, covering the oasis in sand.

As the team flees the oasis, they come beyond Tarik and Lumeo in the sand. Irtike buries them and renames Snake Eyes Mikak.^[4] They too stumble upon Gar and find that, instead of his crocodile spirit animal, he has a wolverine, the spirit animal that Shane claimed to have.

Abeke and Shane travel in his family's boat towards Greenhaven. Abeke promises that she won't let the Greencloaks hurt him when they get at that place.

While Abeke and Shane dock, Tarik'due south Funeral commences. Many of the Greencloaks stand and speak about him, with Olvan being the last. After he speaks, Rollan goes upwardly to the sarcophagus and sets the Granite Ram and the Coral Octopus within, revealing that he's becoming a Greencloak in Tarik's honor.

Lenori comes in and asks Conor to follow her. She brings him to Abeke and Shane, and Rollan comes out, asking Shane about his wolverine. He shows them his spirit fauna tattoo when pressed about it. It is the tattoo of a crocodile, and he turns out to take been the Devourer all along. Abeke is stunned as Shane hops on top of Grahv, and he rushes into the place where Tarik'due south Funeral was being held. He takes them by surprise, knocking Greencloaks against the wall as he advances towards the talismans. Rollan manages to hop onto Grahv'southward back, inching his way towards Shane, while Shane and his spirit fauna fight Olvan, his moose, Conor, and Briggan. Abeke tries to go a shot at Shane, simply Rollan moves into the fashion.

Suddenly, the room goes blackness. Halawir comes in, his wingbeats causing a ferocious wind that blows everyone backwards. At first, they think that Halawir is there to assistance the Greencloaks, simply he helps Shane up and flies away with him when he seizes the talismans.

Subsequently, Conor and Abeke await out at the ocean. Conor assures Abeke that it wasn't her mistake that Shane betrayed them, and they talk about her family unit earlier they hear a racket in the hallway. They meet someone leaning into Tarik'south sarcophagus, and it takes Abeke nearly shooting him to realize that it was Rollan. He reaches in and takes out the Coral Octopus and the Granite Ram, signifying that there was still promise so long equally they have the two talismans and each other.
