A fabulously clever and creative puzzle book for all fans of fantasy fiction, with one hundred puzzles to challenge and entertain you.
Join Miralda and Orien, two ordinary orphans from the village of Humblewick, as they embark upon a perilous quest: a mysterious stranger, the wizard Morgoriam, has enlisted them to reclaim the Crystal of Divinair from the ancient sorcerer Nefaron and save their kingdom from eternal darkness.
As you journey with our heroes, you'll solve 100 fantastical puzzles that are woven directly into the narrative. You'll decipher hidden symbols, uncover secret routes, and crack intricate logic puzzles, all while helping Miralda and Orien navigate treacherous landscapes, outsmart cunning foes, and confront their destiny.
From the bustling streets of Tarrimor to the sparkling elf city of Nirian, every step of their quest depends on your puzzle-solving prowess. But be warned: the path ahead is fraught with danger, from menacing goblins and fearsome dragons to power-hungry sorcerers and tricky illusions. Will you help them succeed, or will the world be plunged into darkness forever? The fate of Ellamir rests in your hands!
