Meadowhythe has lost its magic, but Kym has a plan to get it back. 


She and her friends Mel and Tamly must creep into the heart of the mountain, then down a crevasse deep enough to swallow them forever, to the crypt where Shardax the sorcerer buried his enemies. 


They had better not be afraid of dead things though…
