Guardian of the Talisman
Book Description
GUARDIAN OF THE TALISMAN is the first part of the Falconara trilogy.
"...the wizard's death depends on a magic needle. That needle is within a hare; that hare is within a large trunk; that trunk is hidden in the branches of an old oak tree; and that oak tree is closely watched..."
The European myths and legends, vol.2, Tale of the Dark Wizard.
The real story, however, was quite different...
A long time ago, the Dark Lord Skallerim achieved his desperate goal. He lured his death out of nothingness and trapped it in a needle. He sealed the needle inside an emerald called Izmargahd and hid it in the Shadow world, out of reach of any mortal being, and thus he became immortal.
Millennia passed. The story of the Izmargahd became a legend, and then a fairy tale. But the emerald continued a life of its own.

The world of fourteen-year-old Nick Falconara is shattered by the news that his father disappeared without a trace during an archaeological expedition. Nick thought life couldn’t get much worse. He was wrong. He is sent to a special school – a place where “to go on a summer vacation” means to be Killed in Action and to be “expelled” means to be canceled.
As he trying to stay alive, an ancient emerald with mystical powers passes into his hands, setting in motion a strange chain of events that goes far beyond anything he could have imagined. Now Falconara should not only find his father, but also save the life of his friend Katie Lynx.
