Synopsis
Far to the south of the peaceful Bellwoods, where Jon-Tom is still trying to master the art of turning music into magic and still hoping to find his way back to his own world, a sinister force has awakened: a magician of great ambition and unheard-of power, who commands lightning and flying demons. With his old companions at his side, Jon-Tom the spellsinger travels south to confront him, knowing that his songs, as powerful as they are unreliable, may be the only weapon able to stand against such a foe.
