As readers return to the life of the fantasy world Daradawn, they discover that Patrick is up to his same old ways. Only now he has discovered a way of bringing the evil Dirkk back to life. They contemplate a plan to rule Daradawn and making the world a dangerous place once again. This time it will take more than just Regan, Kelsey and their families to stop the evil turmoil that Dirkk and Patrick will cause. All the leaders and the magical animals will fight along with the others to bring Dirkk's evil to an end forever, including the young daughter of Peter and Regan, as her magic seems to be stronger than that of either her mother or father.

From the first page until the last, this reader was captivated once again with the people of Daradawn. As I read the last pages, I was a little saddened by the fact that this series was ending, as I have truly enjoyed the magnificent fantasy tale. Ms. Hodges has done an outstanding job of writing a series that once you start reading you will not be able to stop until you have read all three books. This is a series that will go on the keeper shelf to be enjoyed again.
