The peaceful village of Willowmere awakens to find an enormous, mysterious egg has appeared overnight in the town square, pulsing with strange magical energy. When the village elder attempts to touch it, she falls into a deep enchanted sleep, and now the egg is growing larger by the hour. The unlikely trio of Merina, Pickles, and Sheepcorn must discover the egg's origin and stop whatever is about to hatch before it destroys the village.
A mysterious prismatic storm has descended upon the coastal village of Harbordeep, freezing citizens in place like statues and wrapping the town in swirling bands of colored light. Merlin, traveling through the region, arrives to find the village paralyzed and a strange crystalline tower rising from the harbor where none stood before. The local magistrate's daughter was last seen running toward the tower before the storm intensified.
