Previous Book: The Coming of Hoole
Next Book: The Golden Tree

To Be a King is the eleventh book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, and the third book in the Legends of Ga'Hoole.

Description[]

Nachtmagen rages through the N'yrthghar as hagfiends and the traitorous lords conspire to defeat the new king. With Grank and Theo at his side, Hoole must forge an army of free owls strong enough to defeat the forces of darkness massing on the horizon. The power of the one Ember fires the young king's very gizzard and he grows great. But for young Hoole there is a danger much closer than treacherous lords and the poison of half-hags. For magic - even good magic - brings great peril to those who wield it. So Soren, Coryn, and the Band read the final legend and glimpse what the future may demand of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown who wrote this legend. In regards to the sections about Hoole, the only one who was close to Hoole remaining (and thus a potential author) is Phineas. This does not, however, account for sections of the story that closely follow characters like Lutta, who's story and inner struggles could have only been known and retold by the surviving characters that were involved, such as Pleek, Ygryk, or the Puffowl. Liberties may have been taken when recounting events, or there may have been multiple authors.
