Endingen Mole has always lived a quiet, solitary life – until a fallen cupboard reveals a hidden map and awakens memories long buried. With questions swirling and a sense of purpose stirring, he sets off on a journey aboveground, leaving behind the safety of his tunnels.

Armed with a knapsack of treats and a growing sense of determination, Endingen ventures into a world filled with wonder and danger. Along the way, he meets a host of curious creatures, some kind, some cunning – each with their own stories and secrets.

But all paths lead to Hillfoot House, where a long-lost birthright lies in the shadow of his manipulative uncle, Julius. And though Julius has no magic, his power to twist minds and bend wills may be the most dangerous force of all.
