Merlin's Star

Most books are to be read, some are to be studied, but a few are meant to be lived in for a short time. Merlin's Star is of this last kind. A story that begins with Merlin, the wise and powerful wizard of Camelot. Trickery and the ultimate betrayal of another causes Merlin to divide a magical star among a chosen five, each pledging to use the power to bring joy and happiness to the children of the world. But all is not as it seems...and centuries later when the stars are stolen, disaster looms for Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and the last of the great sorcerers. Their fate rests with two of Santa's elves, Alfred and Henry, joining with two Haole to search for, and return the stars before it's too late. A journey that will lead them to Bitter Realm, and a final encounter with the wizard known only as Churilar.
