Rollo needs this mysterious treasure to free his father and country from the evil grasp of the sorcerer, Stygius. To do this, Rollo and his friends must unite with long-time adversaries, the elves, as well as keep each other safe from various other conflicts along the way. This book is filled with action and unforgettable characters. Young adults who enjoy adventures like Lord of the Ring will enjoy this book and find it an easier read.
