| It's not easy to be a normal boy, especially when your parents are sorcerers. Tristan is a kid with absolutely no trace of magical powers, but his parents do not give up hoping that, one day, he will become a great wizard and they spent their time trying to teach him potions or enchantments that, obviously are useless to the little boy.
One day, the bad wizard Zultan comes to his house while the parents are away at a sorcerers' congress in Baldata. Zultan steals a very precious spell book and a pair of magic gloves that will make him pass as a Baldata sorcerer. He wants to eliminate the sorcerers' leader who stands in his way of becoming the most powerful wizard making him the evil rule. Tristan must prove his courage and, despite his incapacity of doing magic, go to the island of Baldata before Zultan fulfills his plan. | ||
