To fulfill his destiny, Torak must defy demons and tokoroths, navigate through the Gorge of the Hidden People, and battle the evil Eagle Owl Mage.

Torak swears to avenge the killing of one of his closest friends. To fulfil his oath he must brave the hidden valleys of the Deep Forest where the clans have reverted to the savagery of an earlier time. Here, Torak family learns why he is the Spirit Walker and discovers the true cost of revenge.
