Never mix fire with magic!
Conn may only be a wizard's apprentice, but even he knows it's dangerous to play with fire . . . especially around magic. His master, Nevery, warns him that it could all blow up in his face. Besides, they have bigger problems to deal with. There is evil afoot in the city of Wellmet, an evil that isn't human.
But Conn is drawn to the murmurs he hears every time he sets off an explosion'something is trying to talk to him, to warn him. When none of the wizards listen, Conn takes matters into his own hands. His quest to protect everything he loves brings him face-to-face with a powerful sorcerer-king and a treachery beyond even his vivid imagination.
Sarah Prineas works her own spells as she transports us to an extraordinary world where cities are run on living magic and even a thief can become a wizard's apprentice.

There are enchanted lands inhabited by kings and queens, princes and princesses who have to outwit wicked fairies and evil magicians. Princess Belinda is condemned to be ugly during the week and beautiful only on Sundays. Kenneth turns into a fish and has to be caught before he can transform back into a boy. Annabel opens a wardrobe and discovers an enormous railway station inside. Open the door to your own imagination-what magic world will you find?
The magic, humor, and delightful characters that populate Edith Nesbit's stories will appeal to listeners of all ages. Those already familiar with the tales will be enchanted anew, and those coming to them for the first time will be captivated by the mystical world they find.
"In this delightful collection of fantasies, the listener is introduced to the formal milieu of Victorian England, then whisked away to a series of fantastic worlds."-AudioFile
'The Mad Sorceress' is the first part in 'The Magical Falcon' series. Sigurd, Sandra, and Monika are enjoying their summer vacation, playing like any other children. Little do they know that soon their life is about to be changed forever. A magical prince appears before them, and takes them to a most extraordinary adventure, where magic and fantastical episodes reign supreme. But when one of the children suffers at the hands of an evil sorceress, things are about to get ugly. Action-packed and definitely attention-grabbing, it is a worthy fantasy read for children.
Yet another adventure with Prince Carvallo and the three children. Soon after their last adventure in the garden of the evil sorceress, Sandra, Sigurd, and Monika are visited by the prince once again. This time, however, he is the one to suffer at the hands of the evil ruler of Isengrim in the land of cold winter. Of course that our friends want to save the prince, but the fortress appears impregnable. But what if there is a secret cipher that grants access to its interior? 'The Falcon in Chains' does not disappoint the fans with a lot of action, dangerous escapades, and the power of friendship.
Prince Carvallo’s second name is adventure. Or perhaps trouble. This time, he takes us to a cold and inhospitable world of mysteries. Behind the stormy weather conditions lurk scary demons that are ready to strike. And when Monika disappears, the rescue mission is the first and foremost thing on the agenda for our friends. But they are in for a shock, for nothing on this strange, demonic world is what it seems. Gotthardt stays true to his nature, and presents the readers with sufficient action, hair-raising and humorous episodes, as well as with some really important moral messages.
'The Dragon King’s Daughter' is the last book about the adventures of Prince Carvallo and our beloved friends. After serious exploration and searching, the prince’s native world is finally found. They all go there, but things are not what they expected. The whole planet is covered with living dragons, and Carvallo’s people are nowhere to be found. Will his misfortunes never end? It is more than a satisfying conclusion to a remarkable series, teeming not only with dragons, sorceresses, and demons, but with emotions, kindness, and friendship.
