"The Heroes of Erdas are wanted fugitives. Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan have saved their world form countless threats. They are guardians from across the globe, united under one banner by their legendary spirit animals. But now the young champions are running for their lives, framed for a crime they didn't commit. Branded as traitors, the four must uncover the plot against them, all while unraveling the mysteries of a set of powerful relics tied to an ancient secret.

With a handsome reward offered for their capture, who can the friends trust?"--Back cover.
