Kommer två omaka hjältar att kunna förhinra att det sista ljuset slocknar?

I hjärtat av Irpa ligger butiken Salta Grisens Mediciner & Tinkturer och där bor Gristrollkarlen och Bea, hans adopterade barnbarn. Som väktare av den eviga flamman lever de ett fridfullt liv, men allt förändras en dag när Bea möter Cad i skogen. Cad är en galdurier, ett folkslag som länge ansetts vara utdött, och han hoppas att Gristrollkarlen ska kunna hjälpa honom i sökandet efter hans folk.

När de kommer fram till Beas hem är Gristrollkarlen försvunnen. Tillsammans med Cad och katten Nimm lämnar Bea sin trygga tillvaro för att ta reda på vad som kan ha hänt honom. Det blir en äventyrlig resa, och på vägen kommer de att möta både nya vänner och farliga motståndare. Ska Bea och Cad lyckas hitta trollkarlen innan världens sista Ljus har gått förlorat och det eviga mörkret faller över Irpa?

Welcome to Dungeon Academy, where monsters and creatures train for the dark world that awaits just beyond the dungeon walls! But Zellidora “Zelli” Stormclash is a bit—different. She’s the one thing monsters and creatures of the Forgotten Realms fear the most: Zelli is a human!

Knowing she’ll never be accepted, Zelli’s parents disguise her as a minotaur in hopes she’ll blend with the academy’s monstrous surroundings. Zelli does her work, keeps to herself, and becomes “invisible” to everyone. 

While in History of Horrible Humans class, Zelli learns of the great human adventurer, Allidora Steelstrike, who oddly resembles her. Could Zelli also be a Steelstrike? Seeking answers to her true lineage, Zelli embarks on a dangerous adventure.

But she won’t be alone. A vegan owlbear, a cowardly kobold, and a shapeshifting mimic will join Zelli on her quest for truth in a world that holds no place for them. And who knows? Perhaps these monstrous misfits may discover some truths of their own . . .

Get ready for humor, heart, magic, and adventure as middle graders and beyond learn to embrace who they are, accept others' differences, and discover that making mistakes is OK—as long as you learn from them.

If this wasn’t enough to raise scales Zelli’s reoccurring nightmare of a dark entity annihilating her world may be more than just a bad dream.

Zelli Stormclash and the Danger Club have only one goal: save their friend Bauble from the evil clutches of Elgred Morbide. There’s only one problem—the evil machinations of Morbide’s selfish plots have come to a head, and the final battle for Dungeon Academy has already begun. Deep beneath the desert, a monstrous dracolich is about to be unleashed, an evil, undead dragon bent on revenge against everything in her path.

Zelli is no longer on a rescue mission but a fated quest to save Dungeon Academy, Faerun, and all the Forgotten Realms. Our motley crew of heroes must rise to the occasion and wield the most important weapon an adventurer can carry: hope. Against impossible odds, the Danger Club—members old and new—must take one last stand together and fight like never before . . . till the very end.

When a smaller student is teased by a gang of goblin bullies, Zelli steps in to save the day. But will the “Bully Crusher” take on more than she can handle?

Bea elelee suurilla lyhdyillä valaistulla Irpa-planeetalla kasvattiukkinsa, viisaan Possuvelhon kanssa, joka on rohdosmestari ja Ikuisen tulen vartija. Kun ukki katoaa salaperäisesti, Bean on lähdettävä seuraamaan hänen jälkiään. Avukseen tyttö saa Cadin, reipashenkisen galduurin, joka hänkin etsii Possuvelhoa. Mutta ikuinen pimeys uhkaa Irpaa…

Koukuttavan fantasiasarjakuvan kolmannessa kirjassa maailman valot ovat sammuneet.
