Tag the owl, Skyla the squirrel, and Blaze the young firehawk continue their hazardous journey to find and reunite the pieces of the Ember Stone, the only power which can defeat the evil vulture Thorn, and save Perodia.

Their magical map is leading Tag, Skyla, and Blaze closer and closer to The Shadowlands, Thorn's territory--but now the Ember Stone has fallen into the well-named Lullaby Lake, which is defended by fairies who sing intruders to sleep, and the friends must figure out a way to convince the "nixies" to help them retrieve it before Thorn gets his claws on it.

Tag the owl, Skyla the squirrel, and Blaze the firehawk are searching for the final piece of the magical Ember Stone that will hopefully save Perodia from the evil vulture Thorn, and their quest has led them to the Howling Caves in Valor Wood--but they do not know if the stone will actually be there, or what will be waiting for them when they emerge into the spreading darkness.

Perodia is threatened by Thorn, a powerful vulture, who's using magic to spread a terrible darkness--but when a young owl named Tag, and his best friend, the squirrel Skyla, rescue a golden egg from Thorn's Tiger bats they may have found the key to Perodia's salvation: the last firehawk, guardian of the ember stone.
