Synopsis
Hundreds of barn owlets are found abandoned and dazed in an empty forest, among them Soren's lost sister Eglantine, and soon afterwards Ezylryb vanishes. Haunted by warnings about a mysterious owl called Metal Beak, Soren and his friends defy the Tree's rules to track down a hidden castle of fanatical barn owls, the Pure Ones, and learn the shocking identity of their leader.
