Klappentext

Drumtara is a mythical place where witches, wizards and magical creatures once lived in harmony until they were deceived by an evil warlock (Nicopulas) who waged war upon Drumtara. Thomas Roberts's birth parents instructed two loyal guardians to take the child to the human world to hide and protect him.

A young Mary Jane Roberts, just widowed and broken-hearted, follows a strange image that mysteriously leads her to a newborn baby in her barley field on Hog Hill Farm. Unable to find the child's mother, Mary Jane Roberts names the child Thomas Roberts and claims him as her own.

Unknown to Mary Jane Roberts, the two guardians from the mythical world disguised themselves as a farmhand and a maid to stay close to Thomas Roberts and protect him from the beasts that would be sent to destroy the child.
