description: Jonah Comfait has many magical adventures as he searches for his missing father, only to discover that he is alive but held captive - and only Jonah can set him free. In this tale set in the gorgeous Seychelles Islands, Jonah refuses to believe his father has drowned at sea and sets out in a sailboat to search for him. His search carries him out of his everyday life to wondrous places with magical beings - like the Angeli, who help him in his quest, and the Djinn, who enslave people and feast on their dreams. Jonah learns about the land of Mysterion, a place of peace that people have forgotten because of their dreams of greed and war. He comes to understand that he must play a part in restoring Mysterion to itself and find a way to free his father.
