Young Ilien knows nothing of the dark tales told around late-night fires of the legendary Nomadin wizards and the prophesy that haunts them. But all that is soon to change. A shadow touches his peaceful land of Nadae. An ancient evil is stirring.

What would you sacrifice to save the world? In the cursed wasteland of the Desecration, Ilien faces the ultimate impossible quest - destroy the one thing that can never be destroyed.

Ilien Woodhill has survived witches, giants, and dark prophecies — but his greatest battle is only beginning. When his father is taken captive by terrifying forces, Ilien and Windy, the brave princess of Evernden, must embark on a desperate rescue mission.

Twelve-year-old Ilien Woodhill is used to trouble, but nothing like this. His enchanted pencil won’t stop insulting the schoolyard bullies, he’s accidentally conjured a mob of giant floating eyes that call him “Master,” and now the one person he trusts most seems determined to kill him.
