[edit] Plot Summary
Together Soren and Coryn open the second of three ancient volumes left by Ezylryb to find a tale of heroism and treachery unfolding in a time of chaos, violence, and nachtmagen--the deadly magic of hagsfiends. It is no idle history lesson, for hidden in the legends are truths about the great promise--and great danger--that lie just ahead for the Guardians of Ga'Hoole. And so they read on: Deep in a forest far from owls that would kill the royal hatchling, Grank raises the chick named Hoole. When a hagsfiend sent by Lord Arrin attemps to kidnap young Hoole, Grank knows that the same evil forces that killed Hrath are after the young prince. To keep him safe Grank takes him to Beyond the Beyond, a desolate land of fiery volcanoes in a barren, icy landscape. There, under Grank's guidance, Hoole will hone his mind and gizzard. But even in that strange land there are spies and traitors, and word is sent to the king-killer that a royal owl is living in Beyond the Beyond. Assassins make their way to him, but good Queen Siv in hiding has learned of these plans makes her way to the Beyond to save her son. She must not fail, for only of the young prince lives to retrieve the one Ember will there be any hope of peace in the kingdom of owls.
