Full Description
Rufus and Clara are two beekeepers who are
shocked to find that their families' bees are dying. Strange, when the
sunflowers they feed off are bigger than ever and when the wizards of The
Southern Lands are doing so much to help nature thrive with their spells.
Rushing to The Wizardry for help, they meet a
trainee wizard called Mellek. He tells them about a wizard 'up river' who is
causing quite a stir, using a new kind of magic that seems more powerful than
ever. This must be what they need to fix their problem so they decide to go in
search of him.
But very soon it becomes clear that the nature
of things - both plants and animals - is being changed. They are attacked by a
vicious fox, see flowers fusing into each other and find an orchard with
impossibly perfect apples. With help from Clara's tame deer, Tikki, they
encounter danger and disaster the closer they get to the mysterious wizard.
Is he really the answer to their problems, or
is something altogether more sinister going on? What does the magic of the
wizards really do?
These are the questions that Rufus, Clara and
Mellek will need of all their courage, wits and determination to answer. The
whole health of their homeland depends on them.
