THOMAS KNIGHT believes in magic, especially at this time of year. He wouldn’t be surprised if Santa himself descended from the night sky and asked for directions to the nearest reindeer servicing depot. Tonight, Tom will discover that magic is real as he is thrust into a world of mythical creatures, magical objects, evil sorcerers and very cold feet.
Walking home after a Christmas party, the fourteen-year-old is caught in a magical portal and transported to a mystical realm terrorised by an evil sorcerer. In his attempt to get back to his own world, Tom meets an unemployed cleric who soon learns that Tom is a powerful hero, about whom the ancient Lost Scrolls were written centuries before.
Tom enlists the help of a vampire with an affliction, a young werewolf, a fairy with a masculinity complex and a weepy seer to help him get home. However, before he can leave this realm, Tom must defeat its evil ruler, Count Balfour, steal the source of his power, a book containing the most powerful magic and use it to open a portal back to his Berkshire home. That’s the easy part. The real trouble starts when he tries to use magic. He has power, that much is certain, but it’s like using a flame thrower to light a birthday candle.
