For over two hundred years, no one has dared to enter the dark and dangerous Deephaven caves. The terrifying two-headed, dragon-like tworns stole the caves from the dwarves long ago, and nobody knows how many of the vicious monsters still lurk inside. Kinsey is about to do what everyone else fears. Armed with only her courage and a special dragon-dagger, she ventures into the unknown. By her side is Crimson, a wise and loyal snow-white unicorn, and a grumpy but brave dwarf named Anvil Treegrasper. Together, they must discover the truth hidden in the shadows. But the ferocious tworns are not the only threat waiting in the dark. A cunning spell master is tracking their every move, desperate to steal the Pendant of Peace from around Kinsey's neck. Armed with a powerful black crystal filled with evil magic, he will stop at nothing to destroy them all and claim the ultimate power.
