And now his coveted abilities have captured the malevolent interest of none other than Arcannen-whose quest for power is exceeded only by his thirst for vengeance. Gentle traveling minstrel Reyn Frosch possesses the uncanny gift, and curse, of the wishsong. But danger is already afoot in the village of Portlow. Paxon must accompany a Druid emissary to find its source-and ensure the formidable power is not wielded by the wrong hands.

The path chosen by the Druid was long and circuitous, a slow hard journey through country made rugged by steep slides, narrow passes, and choking forest wilderness.
