    • Maintenant que le Dévoreur et le Wyrm ont été mis hors d'état de nuire, les leaders de l'Erdas sortent de l'ombre et se rassemblent pour discuter de la dissolution des Capes-Vertes. Rollan, Conor, Abéké et Meilin sont conviés aux pourparlers pour tenter de défendre leur cause, soutenus par la princesse Song, la fille de l'empereur de Zhong. Mais au cours des débats, un groupe de faux Capes-Vertes envahit la salle et tue l'empereur. Les quatre héros sont contraints de s'enfuir juste après que leur chef leur confie le Coeur de la Terre. Il leur assigne la mission de trouver les pouvoirs liés à cette pierre magique, ainsi que trois objets précieux qui leur permettront de réunir les Capes-Vertes et ainsi de continuer à protéger le Royaume d'Erdas. De leur côté, les Capes-Rouges envoient Worthy pour les aider, et le jeune garçon parvient petit à petit à gagner leur confiance. Il les aide à échapper aux gardes des leaders de l'Erdas et à réveiller les pouvoirs du Coeur de la Terre grâce auquel ils se tirent d'affaire. Prochaine étape : retrouver la Griffe du Chat Sauvage, une épée dont la famille de Devin Trunswick, alias Worthy, possédait une réplique.

As Conn faces old enemies and powerful magical forces, is he strong enough to save the city he calls home?

Wonderful, exciting stuff."

      In a city that runs on a dwindling supply of magic, a young boy is drawn into a life of wizardry and adventure. Conn should have dropped dead the day he picked Nevery's pocket and touched the wizard's locus magicalicus, a stone used to focus magic and work spells. But for some reason he did not. Nevery finds that interesting, and he takes Conn as his apprentice on the provision that the boy find a locus stone of his own. But Conn has little time to search for his stone between wizard lessons and helping Nevery discover who—or what—is stealing the city of Wellmet's magic.
