​If he could go back, Alfie never would have mended that basket...
The story follows Alfie YellowNeckedMouse, a lad of twelve who has magic.  In Centrallis, young magicians are supposed to be taken to their Sacri Palacii and indoctrinated into the order of holybeasts (the Sacaeredosse).
Instead, Alfie's parents flee to a sanctuary with the intention of keeping him hidden and safe.  However, hiding a gift that is as instinctive as a fish swimming in water is easier said than done.
Follow Alfie as he meets new allies in Magician Sherman MountainTiger and Bill Chough, his assistant.  Together, they will have to endeavour to undo a very serious mistake made by the young mouse.
