Book One in "The Boy from Glenhaven" series comes to its exciting finish, as Renn and Annenlee huddle together around the ancient book, The Leaves.

Someone is calling them. Someone is coming for them. And Renn faces a decision that will change not only his life, but history itself.

As "The Boy from Glenhaven" races toward its thrilling conclusion, Renn finds friends in Gargoyle Crag.

Unfortunately for Renn, Ghutak has found them, too ...

Ghutak is livid. His followers tremble. Killborn suspects a secret plot.

But even while the dark master's minions point fingers of blame at one another, Ghutak selects three hooded figures in dark robes for a special assignment.

There will be no turning back now. As Ghutak charms the masses with boast and empty promise, a small boy from Glenhaven stands alone and opposes Ghutak to his face. It's a day that neither Renn - nor Ghutak - will ever forget.

PLUS: The mysterious narrator from the book's prologue returns.

While Renn is caught up in the sights and smells of Fort Tucker's marketplace at lunch time, a grand plan is unfolding all around him. A golden hero has come to claim a title - "champion" - that may not be his to claim.

Two guards patrolling the ramparts of Fort Tucker look down to see ... a child? Wandering through Dinsmore Wood and riding upon a donkey?

Renn doesn't realize yet, but he is setting into motion a chain of events that could prompt armies to go to war.

Mighty Killborn doesn't like being led like a dog, not when he can smell the dark council from a long way off.

But just as Killborn's patience reaches its limit, a powerful hand holds him down. Ghutak has come. He's gathered his minions. And his plans are about to be set in motion ...

A bone-chilling howl. A blaze of light. And Renn discovers Dinsmore Wood is no place for a child.

In one of the most thrilling chapters of The Boy from Glenhaven, Renn's time with the Linderlein grows short.

In Yul's cave, Annenlee is troubled with recurring nightmares. But Raelynna remembers all too well how her little girl's dreams have a way of coming true.

Meanwhile, the guardian, Yul, is feeling called to trouble brewing elsewhere.

The Linderlein receive Renn with glee, and the forest comes alive with a party fit for a king.

But when the subject of Fletley arises, the Linderlein are deeply disturbed. For there is something important that Renn does not yet know.
