Determined to prove himself, Youngest does the only sensible thing: he heads to where no one else dares, to reclaim Bogsmarsh’s stolen magic (if it even exists) – from a flying, stinging, yellow-eyed ancient sorcerer (knowing Youngest’s luck she probably does exist)! Armed with only his best friend Agnes and piglet sidekick Satchel, Youngest is about to face monsters, mysteries, and mayhem.
