纽约男孩山姆在五月的一天离开了家，他要到克斯奇山寻找曾祖父遗留下来的葛博礼农场。一把小刀、一捆绳索、一把斧头、一些打火石和钢片是他为这次出走准备的所有东西。对山姆而言，这不是一次短暂的旅行或露营，他是要像树一样在森林中长久地、独立地生存。 跟随着山姆深入森林的脚步，“野外生存”这四个字渐渐地不再是一种抽象的符号和虚幻的想象，它的真实、艰辛和迷人如同磁石一般吸引着所有没有勇气和机会进入的我们。 山姆是否能适应野人般的探险生活呢？在这段山居岁月里，他有了哪些危险经历，又积累了哪些野外求生经验呢？让读者感到意外的，还是本书的精彩结局！

There are canyons all over the planet, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona is not the biggest. Yet because of the spectacular colors in the rock layers and fascinating formations of boulders, buttes, and mesas, it is known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of 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. As if fed by an invisible spring, learning and the lively arts flourish at the great tree and spread throughout the owl kingdoms. But 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. 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. Second, he must gather allies. Two armies grow. Gadfeather

The Striga, former dragon owl from the Middle Kingdom beyond the Unnamed Sea, has come to stay at the great tree. He has earned the trust of all by saving Bell, Soren'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 senses the power of the ember hidden in Bubo's forge and draws it closer. As his power waxes, he accuses the Band of treason and produces flimsy evidence to support his abominable claim. And so the Band is exiled, strengthening the Striga's hold over Coryn. 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.
