It is the autumn of the year 1389, and King Richard is on the throne of England, a land still haunted by the memory of the Black Death. And at Caerafon, on the Welsh borders, vampires break through from another world and steal the battleaxe whose magic powers had protected those living at the Castle. The plague returns, and all will die unless the axe can be recovered before the next full moon. Just one person can save them. That person is Hal, a shy thirteen year-old boy with a stammer, whose best friend is Rilla, his hawk. Will Hal find the courage to pursue the vampires into a strange and dangerous world? What will he find there? Will he recover the axe in time?
