Ten years after the fateful clash between two opposing sides of the Divine Kingdom of Lyoza, Elin lives a peaceful life with her family. She tries to stay as far away from her past as possible—the girl who communicated with creatures and befriended a Royal Beast wants no part in the power struggles of humans. But when Elin is called upon to investigate a mysterious illness that's stricken the Toda, she uncovers a startling plot—one that could threaten everything she holds dear.
In this thrilling sequel to The Beast Player, Elin must confront her destiny and the dire warnings of history. Is a final battle between the Toda and the Royal Beasts inevitable? Or will it mean destruction for all?

My Review: This book was crazy good. It picks years later after the end of the first book and I just loved getting back to this world. The animal human relationships in this were amazing and I just loved the world and the creatures. I really hope this one gets picked up as a movie or something because it would be amazing. The characters were great as well. Everything worked so well in this one.
