Nashtin, King Belford's cousin, took over the throne of Weilk Alshore, and is out to find Zimp, who he believes is the last of the doublesight to have infiltrated Castle Weilk and started a bloody battle that took many soldier's lives. Zimp, along with other doublesight, now live in a hidden village where they hope to raise their children in peace. When Nashtin finds Zimp and her friends' village, he kills their Sage, and captures Zimp to take back to the castle. Barely able to control his own beast image, Zimp's son, Korlan, pulls together a band of the most unusual doublesight shape shifters in the village, and goes on a mission to save his mother. Not in control of his own abilities, and unsure about showing his beast image, Korlan must learn about himself as he struggles to save his mother from certain death.
