Soren is an innocent young owl, not even able to fly yet, when he is pushed out of his nest by his older brother. Owls from St. Aggies Academy for Orphaned Owls picked him up and took him to St. Aggies. There he met Gylfie and they found out together that the academy was really brain washing young owls with moonlight and then having them help fight to take over the world of owls. Soren and Gylfie decide that it is time to escape. They meet an owl who will help them and teach them to fly. They escape while their owl friend blocks the academy owls who are trying to kill them, but then the owl gets killed. They meet Digger and Twilight and together they set out to find out how they can stop the academy. | ||
