Seeking to
steal the last remaining page of the Ildatch from the Mwellrets,
acolytes of dark magic, Jair Ohmsford uses his magic, the wishsong, to
make him invisible to their eyes. But when the page burns his hand,
Jair's magic is disrupted and the lizard-like creatures attack. Somehow
Jair uses his magic to bring forth the image of his dead friend, Garet
Jax. When the image enveloped him, Jair became Garet Jax with all of
this great fighting abilities and is able to defeat all of the
creatures.
The next day, Jair and his sister, Brim, are in the Highlands
of Leah and he tells her about this. He tells her how he changed the
wishsong and how Garet Jax appeared. Brin warns him that the wishsong
may be dangerous and that he should not use it anymore. Wanting to
return home to Shady Vale, Jair begins the long journey on horseback.
While asleep that night, the shade of Allanon pays him a visit. Allanon
informs Jair that the Mwellrets have hired the Croton Witch and she has
hunted down Jair's friends, Kimber and Cogline.
The Croton Witch is
searching for the residing place of the Druid's Keep, Paranor, which
Allanon hid away before he was killed. Allanon tells Jair that he must
rescue his friends and prevent the Mwellrets from finding Paranor. Jair
rides to the edge of the Wolfsktaag Mountains into the Gnome village of
Quorin Abbas and convinces his old friend, Slanter, to track the
Mwellrets. They find Kimber and Cogline's cabin and inside of it is
Whisper, their moor cat.
Now a party of three, Whisper leads them to Kimber who is in a cave with a broken leg. Taking Kimber to be healed,
they leave Whisper with Kimber while Jair and Slanter continue tracking
the Mwellrets. They have to stop them from uncovering all of the secrets
in the Druid's Keep. Later, when they are under attack again, Jair must
decide whether he should user the wishsong again and risk losing himself
in the magic.
