Book details
Erin Hunter - Author
This is a continuing animal fantasy about a society facing a leadership vacuum, internal danger and possible catastrophe. Its main appeal is likely the combination of mystery, political tension, adventure and several animal viewpoints.
A false leader has been destroyed—but Bravelands is still in grave danger. Stinger’s death should have brought peace to the land; but no Great Parent has stepped forward, and now the fate of Bravelands hangs in the balance. With a mysterious threat lurking in their midst, all members of the Great Herd must find the strength to walk the right path or risk the end of Bravelands forever. ---------- **Books in this series** 1.
