Ismaril carries secrets no one knows about. After the war against the Wolfmen, he settles with his family in the small village of Eldholt, where he expects to live in peace and freedom. But this is not his destiny. He gets involved in matters much bigger than himself, and a chain of events draws him into the most unlikely adventures, filled with black and white magic. Do his well-kept and mysterious secrets play a role in this? Why him? Who are the Dark Kings, and why are they so eager to find him? And who is the apparition riding the horrific Giant Boar? On a bitter personal journey, Ismaril and his friends travel across the continent of Taëlia to get justice. But is Ismaril's journey merely personal? Perhaps the answer is written in the Book of Secrets.
