Quiet yet discontented Hadley Town is about to wake up to a nightmare.
In this young adult fantasy novel, fourteen-year-old Jawan hadn't been allowed to see his parents in eight years after the powerful Earth mage apprenticed him, and now he never will. They'd been struck down by the deadly purple plague that ravages Hadley Town. When his master's magic fails to find a clue to this mystery ailment, Jawan embarks on his own search, and finds himself trapped in a world one billionth his normal size.
