Deeper and deeper into the mountain, Renn travels with Ewan on an underground river.

And deeper and deeper into story he goes. The beginning of time, a war in the heavens, and a frightening new adventure for the orphaned boy from Glenhaven.

Deep in the forest of Claymere, an ancient evil holds a secret meeting.

And deep underground, Renn meets a shocking new companion.

Renn's adventure is nothing like the stories he's read in his books, and fear, he learns, is no small gnat to be batted aside.

But even while the little boy wrestles with grief and terror, a little bird begins to point the way.

It turns out there's more to Mr. Wyllis than meets the eye.

And to a grieving little boy in desperate need of a friend, the old man has one last secret that may just save his life.

Renn's birthday began like many days before, with a visit to the ancient Mr. Wyllis, a bookseller older than any man he has ever known.

But by day's end, fire and sorrow rain down on Glenhaven, and Renn's life will never be the same.

The adventure begins with a mysterious, unnamed narrator returning to Glenhaven, the village of his birth.

But all is not well in the sleepy hamlet, even as young villager Rennolf Tuckley celebrates his 9th birthday.

Strange eyes are watching Glenhaven, and not just the narrator's.
