The Books of Beginning #1 part 1

by John Stephens, 約翰·史蒂芬斯, 王心瑩 (Translator)

在遙遠的年代，魔法世界與人類世界合而為一，由巫師議會統治世界的中心拉科提斯城。巫師們預見魔法時代終將結束，把宇宙間所有魔法寫成三本偉大的書，命名為【創始之書】。

多年後，野心勃勃的亞歷山大大帝攻陷拉科提斯城，三本魔法書也消失無蹤，成為魔法師競相尋覓的至寶。相傳這三本書必須由三個領有天命的孩子才能逐一被找到……

凱特、麥可與艾瑪，十年前在一個大雪紛飛的聖誕夜被神祕的白髮老人帶走，從此過著流離失所的日子，最後被送到劍橋瀑布鎮的孤兒院。

當三姊弟在迷宮般的孤兒院裡找路時，無意間闖入院長皮姆博士的書房，發現一本散發出綠寶石光澤、但每頁都是空白的古書。這本古書竟然把他們吸進去，帶他們回到十五年前、正面臨魔法浩劫的劍橋瀑布鎮。
