Perodia is threatened by Thorn, a powerful vulture, who is using magic to spread a terrible darkness--but when a young owl named Tag, and his best friend, the squirrel Skyla, rescue a golden egg from Thorn's Tiger bats they may have found the key to Perodia's salvation: the last firehawk, guardian of the ember stone.

Their magical map is leading Tag, Skyla, and Blaze closer and closer to The Shadowlands, Thorn's territory--but now the Ember Stone has fallen into the well-named Lullaby Lake, which is defended by fairies who sing intruders to sleep, and the friends must figure out a way to convince the "nixies" to help them retrieve it before Thorn gets his claws on it.

In a terrific twist on the original tale of The Gingerbread Man, follow the amazing Ninjabread Man as he dips and dives out of danger!

Now that Thorn has been defeated, Tag and his friend Skyla embark on a new quest, to find Blaze's lost family and the other firehawks who disappeared through a portal to the Cloud Kingdom; but the Cloud Kingdom is full of new dangers, and when giant birds seize Blaze and carry her off Tag and Skyla are left to try and free their friend--with only a magic map to guide them, and the threat of the shadowy shape that seems to be following them.

Tag and Skyla have returned to Perodia to begin their warrior training, but when their friend Blaze returns with troubling news that her mother has gone missing, Tag and Skyla's warrior skills are quickly put to the test.

"It is finally time to fight for the enchanted land of Perodia! Tag, Skyla, and Blaze call on their friends to help them in the epic battle against Thorn. Blaze will have to learn how to use the magical Ember Stone. But will its bright magic be strong enough to defeat the powerful vulture and his dark army of spies?"--Page [4] of cover.

"A group of brave zoo animals must survive the London Blitz during World War II"--

Tag the owl, Skyla the squirrel, and Blaze the newly hatched firehawk, journey north to the Crystal Caverns searching for the next piece of the magical Ember Stone--but the evil vulture Thorn is also after the stone, and his ice leopards are close behind the heroes.

When Blaze is captured by giant birds, Tag and Skyla search the Cloud Kingdom for her, including the dangerous Silver Swamp, with only their magical map as a guide.
