Ein Grollen schreckt die Wölfe der Hinterlande auf. Ihnen bleibt jedoch keine Zeit zu reagieren. Urplötzlich reißt ein markerschütterndes Beben das Land entzwei und stürzt die Welt der Wölfe ins Chaos. Der Vulkankreis ist zerstört, viele Wölfe sind tot und ganze Clans verschollen. Die verzweifelten Überlebenden brauchen jetzt einen neuen Anführer, der sie unversehrt aus der Katastrophe führt.

Soren is born in the forest of Tyto, a tranquil kingdom where the Barn Owls dwell. But evil lurks in the owl world, evil that threatens to change Soren's life forever.

Eine große Kältewelle ist über die Hinterlande hereingebrochen und ein Erdbeben hat das Land entzweigerissen. Die Wärme des Sommers, der süße Geruch des Grases und die riesigen Karibuherden sind ferne Erinnerungen. Die Wölfe kennen nur noch Eis, Dunkelheit, Schnee und endlose Kälte. Doch eine kleine Gruppe Überlebender hat die Hoffnung noch nicht aufgegeben.

Trotz seiner entstellten Pranke hat Faolan den Knochenwolf-Wettbewerb gewonnen und wurde gemeinsam mit der Wölfin Edme in die Garde des Rings der Heiligen Vulkane aufgenommen. Doch als Edme ein Bärenjunges trifft und mit ihm spielt, verstößt sie gegen ein uraltes Abkommen. Denn niemals dürfen Wölfe Bärenjungen oder Bären Wolfswelpen zu nahekommen. Zu allem Unglück hat Edme ausgerechnet Tobby, den Großenkel des Großen Bären, getroffen.

Faolan ist es gelungen, der Frostwelt des Nordens zu entkommen, von nun an gehört er als Knochennager - dem untersten Rang in der Wolfshierarchie - zum Eastern-Scree-Clan. Für einen Knochennager ist nur dann ein Aufstieg innerhalb der Rangordnung möglich, wenn er den Knochenwolf-Wettkampf gewinnt. Denn der Gewinner wird in die Garde des Rings der Heiligen Vulkane aufgenommen. Faolans Chancen stehen gut, denn er kann schneller rennen und kunstvollere Knochen nagen als alle anderen.

Faolan und Edme leisten hervorragende Dienste bei der Garde des Rings der Heiligen Vulkane. Doch das Wetter spielt verrückt: Obwohl es Sommer ist, schneit es unaufhörlich und es herrscht Hungersnot. In einem der Wolfclans ist Unruhe ausgebrochen, weil es nicht mehr genug Wächter an der Grenze zwischen Hinterlande und Frostwelt gibt und auf mysteriöse Weise immer mehr Wölfe verschwinden.

In einer eisigen Winternacht wird der Wolf Faolan geboren. Doch er hat eine verdrehte Pranke und wird deshalb ausgesetzt. So verlangt es das Gesetz der Wölfe. Aber Faolan hat Glück. Die Grizzlybärin Donnerherz rettet ihn und zieht ihn auf. Als Donnerherz spurlos verschwindet, macht sich Faolan auf, um die Bärin in den Frostlanden zu suchen.

It began as a dream, a quest for the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, a mythic place where each night an order of owls rises to perform noble deeds. There Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger hope to find inspiration to fight the evil that dwells in the owl kingdom.

The journey is long and harrowing. When Soren and his friends finally arrive at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, they will be tested in ways they never dreamed and face challenges they never imagined.

Ever since Soren was kidnapped and taken to the St. Aegolius School for Orphaned Owls, he has longed to see his sister, Eglantine, again. Now Eglantine is back is Soren's life, but she's been through an ordeal too terrible for words. Deep within Soren's gizzard, something more powerful than knowledge tells him there's a connection between these mysterious events.

Beneath a shadowed moon in a cloud-streaked sky, the sacred orb splits and a hatchling is born. It is Nyroc, son of Kludd, fallen leader of the Pure Ones, and his evil mate, Nyra. Born from evil, trained to evil, Nyroc is destined to fulfill his father's terrible plan: the oppression of all owldom under the vicious talons of the Pure Ones.

In the midst of war, Soren's sister, Eglantine, unwittingly becomes a spy for Kludd, leader of the Pure Ones, a group of evil owls. She is brainwashed by an owl sent by the Pure Ones to infiltrate the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. Her odd behavior eventually attracts attention, and Soren and his friends vow to find out what's wrong with Eglantine. They ultimately learn what happened and help her reverse the effects of the brainwashing.

Soren's beloved mentor, Ezylryb, is finally back at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. But all is not well. There's a war between good and evil in the owl kingdom. On one side is a group led by Soren's fearsome brother, Kludd, who wears a terrifying metal mask to cover his battle-scarred face. On the other side are the owls of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, who must fight to protect their legendary tree from Kludd's attacks.

Soren and his band are sent to the mysterious Northern Kingdoms to gather allies and learn the art of war in preparation for the coming cataclysmic battle against the sinister Pure Ones. Meanwhile, in the Southern Kingdoms, St. Aggie's has fallen to the Pure Ones, and they are using its resources to plan a final invasion of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree.

For generations, the noble polar bears have ruled the Northern Kingdoms. But now, their society is on the brink of collapse. A group of power-hungry bears has seized control, and darkness is creeping across the snow. Cubs First and Second don't know any of this. Although they're twins, they couldn't be more different. First loves imagining stories, while his adventurous sister, Jytte, wants to live them. When their mother is taken prisoner, the cubs' world falls apart. They know they have to rescue her, but how can two cubs who've barely learned to hunt survive a treacherous journey across the ice?

In this next adventure, Hoole reclaims the throne of his father and goes on to wage a war against the forces of chaos, greed, and oppression led by the powerful warlord-tyrants. Grank, the first collier, uses his skills with fire and metals to forge weapons for battle. With great trepidation, Hoole uses the power of the ember in the final, decisive battle and wins. At the dawn of a new era of peace, Hoole searches for the ideal place to establish not a kingdom but an order of free owls - and finds the Great Tree.

Coryn and the Band have returned to the Great Ga’HooleTree and restored order. With the ember safely hidden away, the tree shakes off its gaudy golden glow and recovers its natural majesty. Meanwhile, deep in the Palace of Mists, Bess finds an ancient map fragment that reveals that there are not five owl kingdoms - as has been thought since time immemorial - but six. Coryn and the Chaw of Chaws set off to find this unknown land and, in a landscape of perpetual winter, discover a monastery of serene, learned owls, the likes of which no one has ever seen before.

Nyroc has exiled himself from the Pure Ones. He flies alone, feared and despised by those who know him as Kludd's son, hunted by those whose despotism he has rejected, and haunted by ghostly creatures conjured by Nyra to lure him back to the Pure Ones. He yearns for a place he only half believes in - the great tree - and an uncle - the near-mythic Soren - who might be a true father to him. Yet he cannot approach the tree while the rumor of evil still clings to him.

Cubs Stellan and Jytte survived their treacherous trek across the Nunquivik, but their quest to rescue their mother has only begun. Svenna is imprisoned at the sinister Ice Clock - the headquarters of the Grand Patek whose dangerous influence is spreading throughout the bear kingdom. Only one bear has ever stood up to the Grand Patek - Svern, the cubs' father, a famous warrior who's been in exile for years. And so, along with their friend Third, the cubs set out to find Svern in the legendary Den of Forever Frost - a place some bears claim never existed at all.

Against all odds, cubs Stellan, Jytte, Third, and Froya have found the key hidden inside the legendary Den of Forever Frost. Now, they have everything they need to destroy the dangerous ice clock. Everything . . . except an army. The power-hungry Grand Patek will stop at nothing to protect the clock, the source of his authority. And so, it's up to the cubs to convince the animals of Ga'Hoole to join the fight - a journey that'll take them from the fabled owl parliament to the rugged territory of the wolves of the beyond.

Coryn, Soren, and the Band preside over a new golden age of the Great Tree under the subtle influence of the ember. All seems well, but beneath the prosperity of peace, Coryn is tortured by the suspicion that his evil mother, Nyra, is a hagsfiend and that his own blood carries the haggish taint. He wanders afar, searching for the truth from hagsfiends themselves - putting the Great Tree in danger. Soren and the Band follow their new king to strange parts to guard him from the consequences of his obsession.
