Publisher Description

The Call of the Beast summons. He fears answering.

Leo Stormrider barely survived his first encounter with the Unbeasts. Now, as the apprentice to Lord Darkthorn, he faces an even greater challenge—the Tournament of Apprentices, where the most promising students compete for glory and advancement.

But dark forces conspire against him. The Supreme Realm Lord seems determined to prevent Leo from winning, fearing he could become the next Kong—a legendary Beastcaller whose madness nearly destroyed the realm. With only his Familiar Shadowshine and a few allies at his side, Leo must navigate deadly challenges, ruthless competitors, and a maze of political intrigue.

As ancient powers clash and conspiracies unfold, Leo finds himself caught between mastering his abilities and resisting the Call of the Beast—a primal force that threatens to consume him.

In a tournament where victory could mean the difference between elevation and extinction, Leo must prove that not all Beastcallers are destined to fall to darkness. But with enemies both in front of and behind him, even reaching the finals may be beyond his grasp.
