When Jarell discovers that the fantasy world he is obsessed with doodling is actually real, he is launched into an incredible adventure. Ulfrika, the land of his ancestors, is in trouble and he is the hero they need. In this second book, he must return to Ulfrika to prevent the rise of the sorcerer Ikala. Kimisi takes him to the court of the river goddess and they strike a deal. If they help her by finding a cure for a terrible curse, she will give them the Iron Crocodile for the staff of Kundiata.

Jarell has never quite known where he belongs. He's ignored at home and teased at school for wanting to draw instead of playing sports with the other boys. The only place he's ever felt truly at ease is his local barbershop where the owner hangs Jarell's art up on the walls. When Jarell discovers a hidden portal in the barbershop, he's transported to a magical world that's unlike anything he's seen before. But it's not just the powerful gods and dangerous creatures that makes this world different—it's that everyone believes Jarell is the hero they've been waiting for.

Unlikely hero Jarell has proven himself a warrior -- defender of the Kingdom of Ulfrika. He's gathered three of the four iron animals of the staff of Kundi which will unlock the powers he needs to defeat the evil wizard Ikala. There's only one way to save the legendary kingdom -- beat Ikala in the god Oufula's deadly competition and win the prized Iron Eagle, defeating the wizard once and for all. Can Jarell rise to the greatest challenge yet to rescue his friends and the magical land he loves from certain doom?

The land of Jarell's ancestors is still not safe, and he must return if he is to stop the sorcerer Ikala from gaining power. Together with the help of Kimisi and their new ally Bo-de, the trio must journey to a city of clay if they are to find what they need to defeat their enemy.
