When word of this growing malevolence reaches Coryn, Soren, and the Band, the young king knows he must do two things: First, he must return the ember to the Sacred Volcanoes, for the same subtle emanation from the Ember of Hoole that stimulates the quest for knowledge and invention at the great tree, also magnifies the powers of those who seek to destroy it and all for which it stands. As if fed by an invisible spring, learning and the lively arts flourish at the great tree and spread throughout the owl kingdoms.Д«ut unbeknowst to the Guardians, in a long empty cave deep in the Northern Kingdoms two ruthless villains join forces to conjure an ancient evil, an evil that will do their bidding and wreak havoc on the world. Nyra, leader of the vicious Pure Ones, is either dead or laying low in some distant land,leaving the tree finally at peace. The strange, maniacal blue owl known as the Striga has been rousted from the Great GaвЂ™Hoole Tree. It will take courage, daring and wisdom, but the Band will meet the new challenge for the sake of the king, and the Great GaвЂ™Hoole Tree.

Old friends, loyal family and allies help devise a plan to shake the hold the Striga has on Coryn and to free the young king and the tree from this new, insidious tyranny. They devise as system of messages and alarms and so communicate despite their isolation. The Band seeks refuge in distant forests and enlists the help of old friends, but every action they take is construed as further treason, and agents of the Striga former Guardians hunt them mercilessly, until for safety sake the band itself must separate. And so the Band is Exiled, strengthening the StrigaвЂ™s hold over Coryn. As his power waxes, he accuses the Band of treason and produces flimsy evidence to support his abominable claim. The Striga senses the power of the ember hidden in BuboвЂ™s forge and draws it closer. He has earned the trust of all by saving Bell, SorenвЂ™s owlet, from Nyra, and he grows daily closer to the young king Coryn, with whom he seems to share a strange bond. The Striga, former dragon owl from the Middle Kingdom beyond the Unnamed Sea, has come to stay at the great tree.
