Description
One of T.A. Barron’s most thrilling adventures yet, featuring a new and unforgettable character in his earliest years.
In the years after Fincayra disappears and Merlin has been sent wandering, a young lizard-like creature, with the wings of a bat and the magical power to produce any smell it encounters, is born into the brand new world of Avalon. The unlikely hero—Basil, he’s referred to as—can not discover a single creature like itself nor an individual who can tell him what he’s. But it’s clear that Basil is a lot more than he turns out when he stumbles into an encounter with the great Merlin, saving his child’s life, then uncovers a secret plot by the evil Rhita Gawr. It’s a race against time and across Avalon as Basil, with the assistance of the faithful wind sister Ailah, searches for the great wizard to warn him.
