He was saved by a baboon, Stinger, and his troop, Brightforest Troop. He grew up with them, with only one oath: I swear that when I grow up, I will kill Titan and take back my pride, bringing my revenge and hatred down on him. Titan is mine. Not far away, Sky Strider, an elephant belonging to the Strider family, was walking side by side with Great Mother, the Great Parent that brought advice to Bravelands and told them what the Great Spirit wanted.

Write Your Review: 
I read this book because my friend, Angela, suggested it. I read this, and I could not put it down (literally). This is probably one of my favorite book series ever. The author provides information and drama for you to stay on your toes and to keep on turning the page. I think that everybody who is interested in animals, love, bravery, and sacrifice should read this book. This book is the first book of the series Bravelands, along with #2: Code of Honor.
