When fifteen year-old Gladius Oldmont is thrust from his peaceful home into the dangerous Longwood Forest he finds himself pitted against a tyrant who has been terrorizing the lands in search of answers to an ancient riddle that could unlock absolute power.
From the shadows of Longwood Forest to the Hills of the Moon, Gladius must survive encounters with a near extinct scimitar cat, an ornery dragon, a horde of death bats and a tumultuous underground river which leads to more trouble.
Along the way, he makes new acquaintances and discovers the true meaning of friendship, including Elle – a girl who captivates his heart.
Can Gladius and friends solve the enigma of the ancient secret before the evil Mulhurt does? If they can, will they be able to do anything about it?
“If you or your children love adventure stories try a romp with Gladius. You’ll be glad you did!” – Jillian the Librarian
