TRES NIÑOS DOS MUNDOS UNA PROFECÍA KATE es la mayor y más responsable. A sus catorce años es la única que recuerda a sus padres, especialmente las últimas palabras de su madre pidiéndole que cuidará de sus hermanos. MICHAEL es el empollón y despistado de la familia. Ha perdido más veces las gafas de las que pueda imaginar, aunque a veces el problema es que ni se acuerda de que las lleva puestas. Libro que encuentra, libro que devora, especialmente si habla de sus queridos elfos. EMMA, con solo once años, es pura dinamita. Decidida y directa, dice siempre lo que piensa, sin importarle las consecuencias. Suya es la frase: «Si quieres que te respeten, pelea». Juntos descubrirán que: La magia existe (Michael ya lo sabía). Hay libros muy, pero que muy peligrosos. Les guste o no les guste, deben salvar al mundo.

It's been six months since Kate, Michael and Emma confronted the Dire Magnus, but the trail to their long-lost family remains cold. Then Michael and Emma find the man who was the last person to see them.
