The day Christopher Forrester rescues a drowning griffon cub from a hidden lake, his life is turned upside down forever. The adventure that awaits him takes him to the Archipelago - a mysterious group of islands nowhere on the map, where mythological creatures still live in harmony with humans. There he also meets Mal Arborian, a girl on the run, and together they face a great challenge.
Christopher and Mal embark on a wild adventure full of trials and wonders to discover why magic is disappearing and why magical creatures are suddenly dying. But the closer they get to the dark truth, the clearer it becomes: no one else can save the Archipelago - if they are to save this magical world from destruction, they will have to do it themselves.
Katherine Rundell's story is full of energy, magic and unforgettable characters. She also takes us into a fantasy world with a map and a detailed bestiary of magical creatures. (taken from the general page of Založba Vida)
