The Call of the Beast summons. He fears answering.
Leo Stormrider has always been an embarrassment to his family. Barely able to communicate with animals, he dreams of becoming something more than just the village disappointment. But when a terrifying plague of parasitic creatures begins spreading through the realm, Leo discovers that his weak path may be the key to saving his world.
Aided by Shadowshine, a powerful Outer Wolf who becomes his unlikely Familiar, Leo must master the dangerous Call of the Beast. It's an ancient power that grants incredible strength—but threatens to consume his very humanity.
He faces a choice: continue hiding who he is, or embrace his destiny as a Beastcaller and risk everything to defend a realm that would rather see him dead.
Leo will have to become something more than just a Beastcaller. He'll have to become a legend.
