Beast Quest: The Darkest Hour brings together ten beasts across a single story arc, mixing creatures from the early Beast Quest books with newer monsters introduced in 2013. Tom must face each one in turn, drawing on the courage and skills he has built up throughout his ongoing quest to protect Avantia.
The mix of sea beasts, airborne terrors, and mythological creatures like the minotaur gives the arc real variety. Readers who have followed Tom from the start will recognise some returning beasts alongside newcomers like Kajin the Beast Catcher and Issrilla the Creeping Menace. The combination keeps the arc fresh while rewarding longer-term fans of the series.
