The telepathic, shapeshifting twins Murel and Ronan found that Petaybee had plans for them as well. Now those plans begin to bear fruit with fresh possibilities . . . and dangers.
"The characters are somewhat over-earnest and preachy, but the conversations between natural predators and prey make this an enjoyable read." - Kirkus.
"A cliffhanger ending, ecological lessons, anthropomorphic animals and simplistic good vs. evil morality will speak to middle-school readers but not adults." - PW.
