The first year of high school has its difficulties, but for Leonardo with his fiery red hair, it is much more than just difficult. Maya, the girl he has a crush on, only sees him as a friend, then Leonardo is tortured by the school bully right in front of her.

How trustworthy are these strangers and strange creatures he meets in Midendhil? ¿¿¿Join Leonardo as he battles between his destiny and his will in the first book in the Magical Lands of Midendhil series.
