Heart of the Land is the fifth book in the Fall of the Beasts series, and the twelfth book overall. It is the beginning of the third and final arc of Spirit Animals, and it is written by Sarah Prineas. Rollan and Essix are depicted on the cover, with Essix holding the Heart of the Land.
Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan are young heroes who stopped an unstoppable monster. They are Greencloaks–guardians chosen from every nation in Erdas–and together with their powerful spirit animals, they fight to protect their world.
But in the ashes of this destruction, there are some who ask: Are the Greencloaks to blame? The young heroes are shocked to find themselves on trial, judged by a council of the world’s leaders. Then the unthinkable happens. The council is attacked from within–by Greencloaks–and an important leader lies slain.
In the blink of an eye, Erdas’s saviors become wanted fugitives. Someone is trying to frame them as traitors, but why? As the four friends race to uncover this mystery, only one thing is clear . . .
The war is far from over.
