Son of Shadow — John Lenahan

From the author of the Shadowmagic trilogy. A world of faeries, leprechauns and dragons â€" and magic fueled by the blood of trees. A mystery portal to the Real World. And a pair of curious young adventurers who know they shouldn' t step through it… ? Meet Fergal the Second, nicknamed ' two' . Or ' Doe' , in his own language. He can do magic. But, for the moment, he' s forgotten where he' s from. Or what' s happened to his blind friend Ruby. He' s actually from Tir na Nog, the enchanted world of Shadowmagic, where a new generation of the royal House of Duir are cheeking their parents, preparing for adulthood and itching to see the Real World for themselves â€" whatever the peril.
