DEN SIDSTE KAMPConor, Abeke, Meilin og Rollan var engang fire almindelige børn. Men så fandt de ud af, at de havde totemdyr – kloge og stærke partnere, som gav dem fantastiske kræfter … og et stort ansvar. De er rejst gennem landet Erdas for at sætte en stopper for en nådesløs fjende; de har leet og kæmpet sammen; de har vundet sejre, mistet venner, og en af dem har endda mistet sig selv. Nu nærmer deres rejse sig sin afslutning. De må tage til et sted, der er glemt af tiden og stå ansigt til ansigt med en gammel fjende. De får kun denne ene chance for at standse ham. Og hvis det ikke lykkes for dem, vil hele verden styrte i grus.
