In the sleepy village of Leafy Bottom, Tym dreams of a new life as a great and powerful wizard. Trouble is, he isn't the seventh son of a seventh son - he's only the first of a second, and that doesn't add up to much even when you multiply it! But when Tym mixes some potions that are past their spell-by date, magickal mayhem takes over.
The beautiful Lady Zamarind is in danger and time is running out fast. Mix in a handful of cutpurses, phantom hounds and a Private Inquestigator or two... it all adds up to a troublesome brew for the Dark Forest's first whizzard!
