Spirit Animals: Fall of the Beasts is the second arc of Scholastic’s multi-author Spirit Animals series. Set in the world of Erdas, where young people can form magical bonds with spirit animals, the series follows Greencloaks heroes Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan as they face a new set of threats after defeating the Devourer in the original seven-book run.
Each book in Fall of the Beasts is written by a different author. Sarah Prineas contributed Heart of the Land (2017), the fifth installment. Other contributors include Victoria Schwab, Eliot Schrefer, Varian Johnson, Jonathan Auxier, Christina Diaz Gonzalez, and Sarwat Chadda. Despite the rotating authorship, the series maintains a continuous storyline across all eight books.
The sub-series ran from 2015 to 2018 and is designed for middle grade readers ages 8 to 12. As a shared-universe project, it has a different feel from Prineas’s solo work, but fans of her Magic Thief and Winterling books will recognize her approach to world-building and adventure.
