Synopsis
Having fled the Pure Ones, the young owl Nyroc lives in hiding, haunted by his father's ghost and feared by other owls for the scar on his face. Learning the old legends of the first colliers and the Ember of Hoole, he takes a new name, Coryn, and journeys to the volcanic lands of the Beyond, where the wolves who guard the sacred volcanoes hold the key to his destiny.
