When Tom and Elenna encounter Malvel while searching for the armor that he stole, they learn that the wizard has unleashed a new wave of evil beasts against Avantia, and set off to face the first of these, the mysterious Zepha.

New Beasts. Old Magic. Everyone in Avantia knows the terrors of the creatures that pluck men from the ground and eat them whole; plants whose rich scents could overwhelm a person at twenty paces. Few dare to enter—and fewer still return. But Tom has no choice. The next stage of his journey lies at the very heart of the jungle, where a terrible creature resides, evil as the wizard who created him.

New Beasts. Old Magic. Tom is going home. Throughout his quest, he's imagined the day he'd finally get to return to Errinel, safe in the knowledge that he'd kept the kingdom safe. But Malvel has other ideas. Eager for revenge, the Dark Wizard has unleashed his latest Beast, Soltra the Stone Charmer, into the marshes that border Tom's own village. And as he races forward to meet the next Beast, all Tom can think about is his family—which is exactly what Malvel wants . . .

New Beasts. Old Magic. Setting out on the next stage of the Quest is harder than ever-it means leaving home. Tom successfully defended his village, but an even more sinister Beast waits on the Vipero. Tom has no choice but to leave his family once again, bound for the desert and its untold dangers.

New beasts. Old magic. In the caves of Avantia lurks Arachnid the Spider King. Massive and terrifying, Arachnid preys on the local townspeople and guards a piece of the magical golden armor. Can Tom defeat the Beast and save the kingdom from destruction?

New Beasts. Old Magic. The peace of Avantia has been shattered by a fearsome new Beast—Trillion the Three-Headed Lion. If he is to save the kingdom, Tom must defeat Trillion and collect all the pieces of magical golden armor. Will he succeed?
