There's a new thrill on every page of this book, with fantastic characters and narrow escapes and magical beings one after the other.  Happenstance, our young hero, has no memory of who he is or where he came from.  Taken under the wing of Lord Umber (adventurer, explorer, collector of rare and magical things), Hap comes to live with Umber in the "medieval" port city of Kurahaven.  But who is Hap?  And who is that hooded figure following him?  And who, really, is Lord Umber?  A fun, Indiana Jones-style adventure with an edge-of-your-seat climax that's sure to please the young action reader.  The second book of this new series is in paperback, while the third is still in hardcover -- so there's plenty more to read once you're hooked!
