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.
