Spark is a teddy bear. But she s also a warrior, and at night she fulfills her sacred duty: to protect the household from monsters. Spark s child Loretta is growing up, and mostly doesn t need her bear anymore. So Spark spends her days sitting on a shelf and daydreaming. But when a monster unlike any other descends on the quiet home, everything changes. Children are going missing, and the monster wants the girl next. Only Spark can stop it. To do so, she must call upon the ancient League of Ursus a secret alliance of teddy bears who are pledged to protect their human friends. Together with an Amazon princess doll and a sock monkey, the bears stand between our world and the one that lies beneath, where a child s worst fears come to life. It will be a heroic chapter in the history of the League if they live to tell the tale.
