More DescriptionCoryn and the Band have returned to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree and restored order. With the Ember safely hidden away, the tree shakes off its gaudy golden glow and recovers its natural majesty. Meanwhile, deep in the Palace of Mists, Bess finds an ancient map fragment that reveals that there are not 5 owl kingdoms -- as has been thought since time immemorial -- but 6. Coryn and the chaw of chaws set off to find this unknown land. In a landscape of perpetual winter, they discover a monastery of serene, learned owls, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. As they explore the unknown, the young guardians Primrose and Eglantine fly on a diplomatic mission to the known kingdoms. Far from home they uncover a plot by Nyra and the remnant Pure Ones to assassinate the young King and his noble companions. It is too late to get help from the guardians back at the tree. Primrose and Eglantine must race against time itself to find the strange unknown land and warn Coryn and the others of the attack. Too late. By the time Primrose and Eglantine reach the snowy kingdom the attack is raging. They join the battle to find the monkish owls astonishingly skilled in the fighting arts. Together, monks and guardians, they drive off Nyra and her assassins. After an exchange of ambassadors, and a promise of future visits, Coryn and the chaw of chaws, plus one monk from the Mountains of Time, return to the Great Tree.
