Learning to play a harp with three stars, learning to shapeshift, and to throw his mind across the world, he runs one step ahead of those who want him dead. Unless Morgan can answer the riddles of his destiny. Now that lost magic seems to be coming back to life, and the struggle will tear the realms apart. Why is his forehead marked with three stars? What is it about them that has drawn him into a world where unanswered riddles have turned deadly? Travelling through strange and enchanted lands, he meets Riddle Masters who guard what has survived of the realm's history, Land Rulers who feel the pulse of their lands in their minds and hearts, and ghosts of a lost magic thought to have vanished long ago. The books tell of Morgan, Prince of Hed, who leaves his peaceful island to find answers to the riddles that surround him.
