Eleven year old Owen Shepherd returns to Cornwall from Iceland where he has lived alone with his mother, dreaming of a normal life with school and friends. But his return is anything but normal as Owen is plunged into a world of magic and intrigue.
On Midsummer’s Day it is Owen’s 12th birthday and amongst his many presents is a mysterious key; a key which leads him on a journey into the realm of magic and myth, along a path laid down in a lost golden age.
Meanwhile the world is rocked by a series of natural disasters. But are they entirely natural? Is there a link between Owen’s key and the fate of the world?
