Daystar has never seen his mother, Cimorene, actually perform magic. Nor has he ever known her to enter the Enchanted Forest in all the years they have lived on its edge. That is not until a wizard shows up at their cottage shortly after Daystar's sixteenth birthday. Much to Daystar's surprise, Cimorene melts the unsavory fellow. And the following day, she comes out of the Enchanted Forest carrying a sword. With that and little else, she sends him off into adventure. His mission is to help King Mendanbar escape from an evil wizard's spell. But Daystar has yet to learn that the King is his own father. As the youth wanders around, he meets Shiara, a high-strung but loveable fire-witch, and a host of new and old characters from Cimorene's past.

Delightful writing and marvelous characters combine with a talented cast of voices to charm listeners in the fourth addition to the Enchanted Forest series. Daystar's mother gives him the "sword of the sleeping king" and sends him into the Enchanted Forest. Unsure of his mission or purpose, he is joined by quick-tempered Siara, a fire-witch, and they encounter several wonderful creatures and adventures. The characterization of Daystar, who is also the narrator, perfectly sets the tone and pace of this fantasy adventure. Voices delight, from the clear tones of young Daystar, to the squeaky voice of an elf, the goofy voice of a young dragon, and the fiery range of Siara's temper. F.L.F.
