Plot Summary
After the secret of his Soul Eater mark is discovered, Torak is cast out by the clans. While in hiding, he suffers from soul sickness, a kind of madness. Renn sends help to him in the form of two ravens Torak named Rip and Rek. While Torak is recovering his reason, Seshru the Viper Mage, a Soul Eater, uses her powers to draw him to her so she can control him. Renn and Bale together defy clan law by trying to help Torak. Seshru is revealed to be Renn's mother. Torak shows the clans that destroying him will not help them in their struggle against the Soul Eaters, and they accept him back. Bale uses Renn's bow to kill Seshru.
