Publisher's summary

In the futurefantasy world of RWBY, Rooster Teeth's hit animated webseries, teens train to become warriors. Join the fight in this epic official, original novel from E.C. Myers and RWBY's head writers!

Trouble is brewing....

After Beacon Academy fell, Coco, Fox, Velvet, and Yatsuhashi made a vow: No one else is getting left behind. It's been more than a year since Team CFVY saw their school destroyed by the creatures of Grimm, their friends felled in battle or scattered across the world of Remnant. Since then, they've been settling into life at Shade Academy in Vacuo, fighting hard to finish their training so they can find their friends and save their world.

When a distress message comes into Shade, asking for huntsmen and huntresses to defend refugees from a never-ending stream of Grimm, Team CFVY answers the call without hesitation. But in the heat of the desert, they're forced to relive their former battles, both from the fall of Beacon and from everything that came before.

Don't miss this exclusive original story straight from awardwinning author E.C. Myers and RWBY's head writers, Kerry Shawcross and Miles Luna!

Amazing. Felt just like watching the show

Everything about this was perfect the story and tone felt just like an season of rwby, only even better because its PACKED with lore and backstory. Very well written, and well preformed. The narraotor did a really good job capturing the original voices, even matching the tone and influxes of characters from flashbacks.

Another Great RWBY Story

A great story about what happened to Beacon's best second-years, and an in-depth look at each of them.

Fun Insight into CFVY

What really sold this story for me was how it expanded upon CFVY's characters, what they went through on their mission to Lower Cairn and how that affected them in the present. They're struggling to become the best huntsmen and huntresses that they can be, the ideal fostered by their time at Beacon Academy, the home they intend to return to, the home they want to rebuild and see safe again, when they're ready. I also quite liked the theme of taking responsibility for a potentially dangerous power, the need to learn control and self-discipline.

Fun, easy read

The writing is made for a younger audience, so there is plenty of room for more description and detail. The overall story was very fun and gave a lot of neat new insight into team CFVY. Hopefully more books like this will be put out.

Loved everything about this book!!!

I already liked team CFVY from when we were first introduced to them in the RWBY series. I’m just really glad we have this opportunity to learn more about them as individuals, their perspectives on everything that happened in RWBY, and their adventures. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone in the RWBY fandom and those wanting to learn more about the “side” characters. I’m gonna start listening to Before The Fall right now. See ya
