'Magic'. Deception. Deadly Secrets. What's going on? Puckett is eighteen now and still wondering about the fear, anguish, and destruction humans allow on their planet. He's been summoned back to Orr, unaware that he's a major player in the game of a devastating adversary. The reason for the summons is deliberately hidden, but a visit to the Eight Bells Inn and a frightening and deadly encounter in the forests of Pottles Patch soon make it clear. Puck and his brave group are separated, and their task takes them through the perilous Soggy Downs, the great Festival in Wackerbarth, the magical city of Dragoslava, the horrors of Dawn's Perch, and unexpectedly . . . to the deadliest game of all.

Thirteen-year-old Puckett Cornelius Jones believes there's more to life than what he sees around him. He doesn't like school, he's tired of eating dinner out of a can, and he's tired of the news on TV. Of course, he's never been to Orr where the breezes are fresh and sweet, the trees are a bit strange, and you can create weengbeeng. He's never been to a place where you can shoot Wrawls and Skyrunners in the clouds, or where you and your friends can be turned into tarantulas, eaten by Mole Goblins, or transformed into Dark Ones and batwolves. But Puckett's life is about to take a curious and deadly turn. His refusal to accept darkness and fear . . . and his deep yearning to know himself . . . are about to be challenged. Puckett's story begins when he sees the ghostly image of an old man beckoning to him above a blackened pool . . .
