While exploring a forbidden area of his grandfather’s Scottish estate, Christopher Forrester rescues a baby griffin nearly drowning in a lake and learns about the Archipelago, a group of hidden islands filled with the last magical creatures on Earth. He soon meets Mal Avorian the griffin’s caretaker, and joins her in a quest to discover why the islands’ magic is fading and the animals are dying. Traveling from island to island searching for clues and someone to help them, the pair soon realize it is up to them to save the place they’ve grown to love.
