On one dark and windy night, Ozzy steps out of bed, jumps out his window, and walks straight into the ocean. Itâs as if someone is controlling Ozzyâs mind. Heâs saved by SigiâRinâs daughterâand Clark, a mechanical robot bird. More than ever, Ozzy could really use the services of Rin, the Wizard for Hire.
When a mysterious package arrives in the mail containing a plane ticket and a thumb drive, Ozzy is certain itâs from Rin. But when Ozzy, Sigi, and Clark arrive in New York, Rin isnât there. Instead they are met by the man who was the money behind the mind-controlling âdiscipline serumâ created by Ozzyâs parents. Ozzy was the final test case and is now the key to discovering the serumâs secret. He is a very valuable boy. Once again, heâs on the run.
As fate would have it, Rin appears just in time. But Rinâs goal is more than a rescue mission. He needs an apprentice to cement his status and notoriety in the magical realm of Quarfeltâassuming the place even exists. As Rinâs apprentice, Ozzy must complete five tasks to receive the Gift of Wonder. Ozzy is willing to help, but is now really the best time to enter a contest for wizards when something is controlling his mind? Especially when someone is out to destroy the people he loves?
