Its a trap and poor Red is just the bait. Well aware of the threat the Elders have forbidden the daring boy hero from taking any action to rescue his faithful companion. Instead Jake and his friends must cool their heels at the Orders palace headquarters where theyll be safe. But treachery stalks the hallowed corridors of Merlin Hall. Palace intrigues abound as a traitor makes a secret pact with the enemy. And when a terrifying prophecy emerges with Jake at the center of it all the full-scale magical war between good and evil that the Order has long dreaded only needs one spark to explode...
