THE DAY
THE LEGENDS APPEARED

Goblins and witches roamed the night; an immortal wizard waited in a cavern of jewels and sleeping warriors; a silent sorcerer lurked beneath a black lake--all sought Firefrost, the lost weirdstone that contained the magic to win an ages-long war of Good and Evil.

Susan and her brother Colin, curious about the legends they had heard of the weirdstone, ventured into the gloomy woods of an isolated village in Cheshire, only to become the quarry of a sorcerous chase--from the heights of the mysterious Edge to the haunted depths of the earth, as the quiet countryside became a fantastic landscape of legends... and nightmares.

THE OLD MAGIC

A sorcery of beauty and dread, more powerful than wizards or elves, more ancient than good or evil.  To save young Susan from the soul-stealing Brollachan, the old sorcery was wakened - it stirred and grew and called to arcane forces long dead or sleeping. wild and cruel magic lived again, without purpose - and beyond mortal control.
