Abon has already defeated the army of power-hungry Dark Creatures, under the cruel command of King Cumbulus. Back in the familiarity of his hometown, Abon is content to remain inconspicuous for a time. Yet, adventure seems to find him when a comrade from his previous journey arrives unannounced on his doorstep. It is time to finish what Abon started. He sets off determined to convert to the Dark Creatures to the good he knows he can find in them.

But as they set out on their second journey, the famous trio finds out that there is more to the Kalanglasian race than a single prophecy. As they struggle to reach their new destination, Abon and his fellow adventurers begin to unwind a tightly woven mystery. On a path marked with danger, sorrow, anger, love, and the tribulations of youth, Abon must find the strength to press on...before it is too late.

Abon is the type of boy who wishes for nothing more than to lead an ordinary life, meet as few people as possible, and abide by the will of his stern and unaffectionate Aunt Malor. Unfortunately, Abon is not an ordinary boy-he has magical powers that are rare and feared in the land of Afradaar.

It is those very powers that cause him to receive a strange offer from Sir Cultan, a fellow magician. The Dark Creatures, the enemy of the people of Afradaar, have amassed an army, and only magic can defeat them. Sir Cultan needs Abon's help.

Abon abandons all that he has ever known to join the fight against the Dark Creatures. Little does he realize that he is about to discover that he is even more unusual than the ordinary magician. Abon is the heir of a magical, long-lost civilization called Kalanglasia. When he learns of his prophecy and a sword is thrust into his youthful hands, Abon must learn to conquer his own nature to prevail over evil.
