Four children separated by vast distances all undergo the same ritual, watched by cloaked strangers.

Four flashes of light erupt, and from them emerge the unmistakable shapes of incredible beasts - a wolf, a leopard, a panda, a falcon.

Suddenly the paths of these children - and the world - have been changed for ever.

Enter the world of Erdas, where every child who comes of age must discover if they have a spirit animal, a rare bond between human and beast that bestows great powers to both.

A dark force has risen from distant and long-forgotten lands, and has begun an onslaught that will ravage the world.
