Altea is the last stronghold. If Zarkon gets it, his empire will be complete.
Six months ago, Alfor received a cryptic message from a man named Shiro, telling him he knew how to defeat Zarkon once and for all. But when the Altea mansion burns down, Alfor trapped inside, it is left to Allura, his daughter, to save her town, avenge her father, and take back the West. But she can't do it alone. She’ll need the help of a band of unlikely heroes, young folks who all have their own reasons for taking down Zarkon.
Keith, a horse breeder who’s been struggling every since his brother Shiro went missing all those months ago. Pidge, a girl too smart for a small town, who just wants her family back. Hunk, a saloon owner who is sick of seeing the people he loves suffer for someone else’s greed. And Lance, a skilled sharpshooter and an unskilled flirt, who can’t stand the sight of his family struggling.
The West is an unforgiving place, but if they don’t fight, who will?
