Formidable creates force him to battle not only for his life but also against his inner demons. On the brink of death, Little Hawk encounters the mysterious and rebellious shaman, Grey Paw - changing the course of Alythea’s future.

Grey Paw believes Little Hawk is the one who’s prophesied to become the ‘Astra’ - a saviour who will find an artefact that can break The Lost One’s hold over them. Training together for the visually spectacular, high-speed, winner-takes-all, Astra Championship, Little Hawk is determined to win, gain the respect of his people and the hand of Broken arrows, but to do that he will have to defeat the man his people have already chosen to become their champion, the self-serving, puppet-prince Gyeder.
