In this Dragonborn prequel, greedy wizard Slowin steals both name and power from his apprentice, Bee. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Cabbage's own master, Flaxfield, suddenly loses all his magic, and Cabbage and a new friend, Perry, are the only ones who can help. The curiosity, courage, and talents of Bee, Cabbage, and Perry, growing into adolescence, are at the heart of this intelligent, down-to-earth story.
