When evil villains destroy his village and kidnap his childhood sweetheart, Kyra, he embarks on a relentless quest to find her and to restore peace to a barbaric land. At his side are his young friend Tao, and his faithful animal companions—Sharak the eagle, Ruh the tiger, and Kodo and Podo, two mischievous ferrets. BeastMaster follows their incredible odyssey into a legendary, mythical realm where anything is possible."
