The eleventh title in the series brings Hoole to kingship and the legends to fulfillment, signaling a return to the adventures of Coryn, Soren, and the Band. In this final book of the Legends trilogy, Hoole reclaims his father's throne and wages war against the forces of chaos, greed, and oppression led by powerful warlord tyrants. Grank, the first collier, uses his skills with fire and metals to forge weapons for battle. With great trepidation, Hoole uses the power of the Ember in the final decisive battle and wins. At the dawn of a new era of peace, Hoole searches for the ideal place to establish not a kingdom but an order of free owls and finds the Great Tree.
