Elenora Mandragora: Daughter of Merlin

Legend says when you pull up a Mandrake root, it lets out a scream so powerful as to kill the first living thing in earshot.

In the peaceful forest of Brocéliande a young woman follows the magical teachings of her father, the sorcerer Merlin! But when a shrieking Mandrake root brings about an early conclusion for the old wizard, just how long will he stay dead? And did Elenora learn anything he taught her?

A thrilling adventure filled with heart, magic, and humor.
