Description: When the fairies abduct a young girl from the town of Creel, there begins a series of events that will ultimately shape the future of the land of Lissendel. Old foes must face each other in a deathly struggle: Largol, a power-obsessed wizard with a rapacious nature and an evil heart, and Garret Dimple, "a simply remarkable individual", with a generous spirit and an unflinching willingness to help those in need. An old curse has been reawakened and brought down on Lissendel by Largol for his own avaricious intentions. Now there are no fish in any of Lissendel's rivers and none swimming.
