A humorous, adventuresome journey through the imaginary land of Daranor, with the boy hero who is trying to find the meaning of his powers, by a young writer with a great deal of potential. Complete with dragons, mermen, shape shifters, a Dark Lord and evil Queen of Darkness, it is for fantasy lovers and young adults, as some parts are too bloody for small children.
