Derrick of Loneoak Island. Found as a young child along a roadside late at night. Alone. Except for a strange pendant in his possession. Years later, when he seeks to discover the mystery of his past, he is swept into an epic adventure that will take him across Elinala. Along the way, he will gather unlikely allies: a centaur, a troll, a heatherfolk seer, a bitter steward, and a maiden who lives among unicorns. Together they learn that heartstone-the ancient stone of healing that had been hidden centuries ago-has been found by a corrupt steward working in the court of a paranoid king. And only Derrick of Loneoak Island can stop the power from being unleashed across the world. The secret lies within Derrick's pendant, a pendant that also contains heartstone. And only he can unlock it.
