'When an assassin infiltrates a secret meeting and soldiers kill the people, ROBBIE and DOUGRAY are plunged into a fast-paced journey of self-discovery. FAOLAN, their supposed grandfather, sends them over Black Horn, the forbidden mountain, where life is very different to what they know on their farm. Attacked by Trolls, they are saved by an Elf girl called BELLE SHADOW-CHASER, who is trying to locate the seven lost crystals of the Morning Star. She accompanies them through a jungle-like land called Gardenia, which is protected by a frightening Guardian. They soon discover that spiders and other nasty creatures have overrun it. When Robbie is allegedly killed by one of its monsters, Belle believes otherwise and offers Dougray hope in his grief-stricken state. After tumbling into the river, Robbie meets TISSER, a strange little creature called a Toggle. Tisser decides to help him, but while they are fleeing from black wolves, Robbie stumbles into QUEEN SHARA’S web. She is an enormous predatory spider that takes him to her lair. A distraught Tisser goes in search of Dougray and Belle, and while they are coming to rescue Robbie, they encounter Peragons, serpent-like witches hunting in the jungle. After a narrow escape, they head for the spider’s lair. Queen Shara, however, knows they’ve arrived and sends all ‘her children’ to attack them. Finally, she launches her own attack, but is unable to withstand Belle’s swiftness, Dougray’s determination and Tisser’s sharp claws. They manage to vanquish Queen Shara and rescue Robbie. They discover one of the crystals hidden inside the lair. Its unique magic uncovers a hidden spell on Dougray. He is horrified to learn that he was the assassin at the secret meeting and because of him, all those people died. Now he must seek forgiveness from those he loves.'
