When his father vanishes while on a dangerous mission to the Unknown Lands, Marco knows that it's up to him to bring him home. He sets out on a rescue mission with his best friend Amelio, but before long Marco will realize that his mission is far larger and more pressing than he thought: the fate of the whole world may turn on the outcome of his journey.
