About this listen

A hero fights against the tide,

Companions battle by his side.

Danger, magic, secrets, lies,

A tyrant King who never dies,

A Prophecy that must be cheated,

Evil that must be defeated,

The menace of the fabled El …

This is the tale of Landovel.

Derry knows no other life than that of a captive on Cram's Rock, shunned by the other young prisoners for being Cram's poison taster. Until the day everything changes, when a traveller arrives, on the run from the sinister El executioners. She leaves Derry with a magical notebook full of secrets – secrets that might hold the key to Derry's destiny and his past.
