Two ancient threats return. One realm hangs in the balance.
With the Unbeast parasite removed from the Supreme Realm Lord, Leo Stormrider carries hope for Arinthia's his Purifying Hand technique can save those possessed by the Unbeasts. But when the Children of Kong kidnap him and cast him into the Realm of Emptiness, Leo faces a terrifying truth—the ancient Beastcaller Kong plans to possess his body and return to the physical world.
Trapped in the void where no life should survive, Leo discovers power he never knew he possessed. But to save himself and his Familiar Shadowshine, he must embrace the Call of the Beast—risking the very humanity he's fought to preserve.
Meanwhile, Lord Lightninghand sends his own daughter Sylvia—a secret Beastcaller—along with Major Realm Lord Calavian Darkthorn and swordsman Yohji to investigate a damaged seal beneath the Great Crater. But their mission takes a deadly turn when the last Dragon breaks free after a century of imprisonment. As the ancient beast threatens to burn Arinthia to ashes, Sylvia must attempt what no Beastcaller has done since Kong command a creature that answers to no master.
With Kong's spirit seeking rebirth and the Dragon unleashing its fury, Leo and Sylvia must each harness the dangerous power of their shared Path. But the forces they face are beyond anything they've encountered—and the price of failure is nothing less than the fate of Arinthia itself.
Sometimes the most dangerous path is the only one that leads to salvation.
The Shattered Souls is book 5 in an exciting progression fantasy series!
This series was okay but the constant discussion about the level each character achieved was tiresome. And constantly introducing new "Paths", so of which were almost silly didn't help either. The story line was great and the character development was well thought out...just leave the gaming to the games and write the story.
So many inconsistencies in this series, it’s really starting to bother me. Book one featured the unbeast blood loot that somehow emptied and was never followed up with an explanation. End of book four had Leo’s nameless technique called Purifying Hand but now in Book 5 it’s Purity Wave?
