The Last Light: Ella and the Guardians of the Wild

By Pamela De Castro Alquero

A magical adventure to save endangered animals-and the planet

In a world where the wild is fading, one girl's wish ignites a forgotten magic...
Ella never thought her quiet afternoons watching the animals at the wildlife sanctuary would lead to a quest across realms. But when she locks eyes with Mosi-a rare black rhino with sorrow in his gaze-something inside her stirs. Ella knows the world is losing its wild creatures, and she feels it slipping away with every fading footprint, every poached horn, every ghostly echo of a species lost.

Then, one starlit night, she whispers a wish into the wind. A wish for help. For hope. For heroes. Far beyond Earth, in the hidden realm of NoctaLuna, ancient spirits stir. This is where the souls of extinct animals dwell in peace-until a fading star in the sky signals a terrible omen. The Great Trilobite, Thalmaron, ancient and wise, senses the balance tipping.
The harmony of the natural world is in peril. If Earth's endangered are lost, the very threads connecting the spirit realms will unravel.

Elders Mahka the Mammoth, Nodin the T-Rex, Eirian the Elk, and Karu the Saber-tooth gather in urgency. But they are too ancient, too bound to NoctaLuna's stone. To act, they must choose new champions-spirits of extinct beasts brave enough to return to Earth.

And so, four are chosen:
Still, a gentle Giant Ground Sloth with strength hidden in silence.
Lodo, the curious Dodo, wide-eyed and full of wonder.
Nia, a fierce-hearted Quagga who remembers a time of unity.
Zarek, the mysterious Thylacine... whose secrets may threaten them all.

Their mission? To complete four sacred tasks that will save both worlds. Each challenge will forge a magical stone-Hope, Redemption, and Humanity-needed for the final Ritual of Unity. These stones can only be formed when three beings-extinct, endangered, and human-stand as one. If the mission fails, the wild may be lost forever-not just on Earth, but in all realms.

The Last Light is an unforgettable fantasy of friendship, courage, and healing-a powerful tale where the vanished come back not for vengeance, but to protect what still remains.

The wild is calling. Will you answer?
