Even though ­thirteen-­year-­old Marcus Kanenas is confined to a wheelchair, he sees himself as a survivor and a dreamer. In fact, his favorite dream is of a world far away, a world where magic is as common as air, where animals tell jokes, and where trees beg people to pick their fruit. He even has a name for this place - Farworld. When Marcus magically travels to Farworld, he meets Kyja, a girl without magic in a world where spells, charms, and potions are everywhere, and Master Therapass, a master wizard who has kept a secret hidden for 13 years, a secret that could change the fate of two ­worlds.

Marcus and Kyja travel toward Land Keep, the home of the powerful and wise Land Elementals. However, their journey may end before it even begins. Marcus and Kyja's only hope seems to lie in finding the Augur Well, a legendary Oracle protected by subtle traps and mind-bending trials. And they must travel far underground, where they will be unable to leap to the safety of Earth. And as the Dark Circle closes around them, Marcus and Kyja are faced with the temptation of what they desire most.
