Description:
A band of misfits seek to fight the darkness that’s slowly overcoming their kingdom—the start of a grand adventure series in the tradition of The Chronicles of Narnia and the Wingfeather Saga. “An incredible adventure that is more than a mere quest.”—John Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of The Mythmakers Ever since the Great Betrayal, the light in Wildfel has been dying. The sunshine is dimmer, it takes more firewood to brighten a room, and the shadows grow stronger by the day. Twelve-year-old orphan Finn survives in this world by being a thief. When he, his best friend Adrion, and younger sister Lydia meet a mysterious stranger who claims to know of a Lake of Light, they set off on an adventure to places where the mist can steal a precious memory, starlight gathers in waterfalls, and spiders spin shimmering webs of glass as deadly as they are dazzling. But there are secrets hiding in the shadows that could change Finn’s understanding of everything he knows—and finding the Lake of Light could alter not only the course of his life but the very kingdom itself.
一群看似不起眼、各有缺点的孩子，为了对抗逐渐吞噬王国的黑暗而踏上旅程——一场媲美《纳尼亚传奇》和《翼羽传奇》的奇幻冒险就此展开。
自从那场“大背叛（Great Betrayal）”发生以后，Wildfel 王国的光明便逐渐消逝。阳光越来越暗淡，照亮房间需要燃烧更多木柴，而黑暗的阴影却一天比一天强大。
12 岁的孤儿 Finn 为了在这个世界生存，只能靠偷窃度日。一天，他和最好的朋友 Adrion 以及妹妹 Lydia 遇见了一位神秘陌生人。这个人声称知道传说中的“光之湖（Lake of Light）”在哪里。为了寻找希望，他们决定踏上一场未知的旅程。
一路上，他们进入一个充满奇异景象与危险的世界——迷雾能够偷走人珍贵的记忆，星光汇聚成闪耀的瀑布，而蜘蛛织出的玻璃蛛网美丽夺目，却也足以致命。
然而，更大的秘密隐藏在黑暗之中。这些秘密可能彻底改变 Finn 对自己、过去以及整个世界的认识。而找到“光之湖”，不仅可能改变他的人生，也可能改变整个王国的命运。
这是一部融合奇幻、冒险、友情、勇气、光明与黑暗之争，以及寻找希望的儿童小说，适合喜欢《纳尼亚传奇》和《翼羽传奇》等奇幻冒险故事的中高年级读者。
