Synopsis
The third legend tells of Hoole's early reign from the great tree he has found in the southern sea, as he forms the first parliament and the order that will become the Guardians, and prepares to retake the Northern Kingdoms. Against him stand the powerful hagsfiend Kreeth and a shapeshifting creature sent to steal the Ember from within his own court.
