About the Book

"The most important thing that you must know when setting out on your voyage of discovery is that universals are weak. Without our companion creatures, we are nothing. We can defend ourselves, but nothing more. Even the humble snail with its shell can claim as much. Think upon this when the privilege and power of your status makes you boastful. . . ."

Connie Lionheart’s great-aunt and uncle try to take her away from the tantalizing reach of the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures. What they don’t realize is that Connie is the Society’s most important member—she is the only universal companion able to bond with all mythical creatures. Connie’s great gift also puts her in great danger, as the evil shape-shifter Kullervo needs her power to destroy the Society, once and for all. But how can Connie help anyone, even herself, when she hasn’t learned how to use her powers? In this second book of The Companions Quartet, Connie and her friends team together again to protect the fragile bonds between humans, creatures, and the world we must share.
