Product Description: Thane is a typical teenage boy—typical of course for Aegea, a fascinating yet perilous medieval world where all beings have two forms: one human and one animal. Thane’s life takes an unexpected turn when his animalkind becomes something never before seen—a creature with incredible power that can shift the natural balance of life and bring hope to the hunted. Elsewhere, in the rancid depths of a carnivore lair, an evil force named Fatalis, who is destined to rule Aegea, learns of this new threat to his dominion and builds a massive army with one simple yet sinister purpose—death to any who dare oppose him. With time running out, Thane’s people must turn to powerful yet reclusive strangers for help, beings who have thrived in isolation for centuries yet are now forced to take sides in an incredible war that will determine the fate of their world.
great story for any age Animalkind is a great story with some unusual characters on one hand but also very relatable to all. Action packed and kept me interested all the way through. I really hope there is a continuation in the works!
This one you have to read I found this book by accident but it is awesome. One of the most original fantasy books I have read in a long, long time. This one would make a great movie. Original storyline and a number of twists to keep you hooked. Check it out!
An exciting fantasy Reviewed by Ian McCurley (age 14) for Reader Views (3/08)
Thane is a normal teenage boy -- normal, in the world of Aegea. Aegea is a medieval world where everyone has both a human form and an animal form. Where the members of the Five Realms are constantly warring, the Realms of Carnivore, Vegan, Aquan, Avian and the lesser-known Reptile must survive by instinct coupled with sheer animosity.
Thane, the son of the Vegan King Arvyn who had led his people from carnivore land into the safe haven of Arvyndale, has been having strange headaches, some so violent that they cause him to pass out. When he and some other members of the village are almost killed in an assassination attempt, he discovers that his animal form has changed from a horse to a mythical creature, giving him magic powers. An evil man named Fatalis, with his carnivore army, is heading towards Arvyndale. Now Thane must use his powers to defend the village from odds of 1000 to one.
Sean P. Griffin excels in his book "Animalkind." This novel is a truly great work of fiction and balances suspense and plot with character development seamlessly. "Animalkind" is for young readers from ages 12 and up, who enjoy animals, eating animals or watching animals eat other animals.
