It begins with the dreams. Cassie has been having strange nightmares of a voice calling to her from deep beneath the ocean. They’re unsettling, but it isn’t until Cassie discovers Tobias has been having dreams too -- the exact same dreams, of a voice pleading for help—that she decides it’s time to start listening. When pieces of debris wash up on shore, marked with alien writing, the team realises they may still have allies in the fight for Earth -- allies who are trying to make contact. Now they just have to reach them, before time runs out.

When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias broke the time limit and now he's trapped in the body of a hawk ... forever. When he discovers an important Yeerk secret, Tobias knows he has to do everything in his power to destroy it. But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for dominion. A part that isn't human. For Tobias, the fight against the Yeerks is more pressing than ever — not just for humankind, but for his own humanity.

Marco never wanted to be an Animorph. He didn't want the ability to change into any animal he touched. And he certainly didn't want to be one of a handful of kids that are the planet's only defence against a secret alien army. His friends know why he feels the way he does. He's worried about his dad—the only family Marco has left. If anything happens to him, his father will be alone. But something big is about to change for Marco. Something that could finally give him a reason to fight.
