When the fairies abduct a young girl from the town of Creel, there begins a series of events that will ultimately shape the future of the land of Lissendel. Old foes must face each other in a deathly struggle: Largol, a power-obsessed wizard with a rapacious nature and an evil heart, and Garret Dimple, a simply remarkable individualA", with a generous spirit and an unflinching willingness to help those in need. An old curse, invoked and brought down on Lissendel by Largol for his own avaricious intentions, is threatening not just the livelihoods of those living there, but their whole existence. Now there are no fish in any of Lissendel's rivers and none swimming to her shores, and all her crops have started to fail. Only the singing of a sacred song at a special time and place by a creature know as the Salmon Girl can dispel the curse. It has all happened before and now it is happening again. The problem this time is that the Salmon Girl has gone into hiding and is nowhere to be found. Has the young abducted girl the voice to master the Song of the Salmon Girl or will Garret Dimple find the real Salmon Girl in time to stop Largol's evil plan?
