#1 NEW YORK TIMES bestseller Brandon Mull launches Scholastic's brand-new multiplatform phenomenon.

Four children separated by vast distances all undergo the same ritual, watched by cloaked strangers. Four flashes of light erupt, and from them emerge the unmistakable shapes of incredible beasts - a wolf, a leopard, a panda, a falcon. Suddenly the paths of these children - and the world - have been changed forever.

Enter the world of Erdas, where every child who comes of age must discover if they have a spirit animal, a rare bond between human and beast that bestows great powers to both. A dark force has risen from distant and long-forgotten lands, and has begun an onslaught that will ravage the world. Now the fate of Erdas has fallen on the shoulders of four young strangers... and on you.

Part engrossing book series, part action role-playing game - discover your spirit animal and join the adventure in Fall 2013.

Brandon Mull

Brandon Mull has a rare talent for turning childhood daydreams into epic adventures that captivate millions of readers around the world. His fantasy novels, from the beloved Fablehaven series to the sweeping sagas of Beyonders, Five Kingdoms, and Dragonwatch, invite readers into hidden realms where magic lives alongside danger, and the choices of ordinary kids can change the fate of entire worlds.

Born in California in 1974 and raised with an imagination that never seemed to rest, Mull spent much of his childhood inventing elaborate games and imagining creatures that lurked just out of sight. That creative spark carried into his studies at Brigham Young University, where he not only honed his storytelling voice but also embraced performance as part of a sketch comedy troupe. After graduation he worked a string of day jobs—from movie promoter to filing clerk—while quietly chasing the stories that filled his mind.

His breakthrough came in 2006 with Fablehaven, a series that quickly grew into an international phenomenon, translated into dozens of languages and selling millions of copies. Known for balancing humor with heart, Mull creates characters who feel both fantastical and real, grounding their struggles in themes of courage, friendship, and moral choice. His school visits and public talks have inspired young readers to see books not as homework but as portals to adventure.

Mull continues to expand his imaginative reach. With the upcoming Guardians trilogy, beginning with Forbidden Mountain in 2026, he is venturing into a wholly original world built on spiritual bonds and epic conflicts, a story he has envisioned for over a decade. The project marks his most ambitious work yet, promising an even grander scope while staying true to the wonder and danger that define his storytelling.

Now living in Utah with his family, Mull writes with the same sense of wonder that guided his boyhood adventures. His books have become treasured gateways for new generations of fantasy readers, offering not just escape, but a reminder of the courage and creativity hidden in us all.
