Tom is a hereditary wizard and a Keeper of Dreams. Ernie is his adopted son—he helps Tom collect and keep dreams. Of course, magic isn’t their main occupation. Only the closest members of Tom’s family know that Tom has magic and secretly “saves the world.”
Tom has a job; Ernie is in senior school and seriously studies music, making great progress playing the lute. Sometimes magic and everyday life unexpectedly intersect, and Tom and Ernie find themselves in adventures and come into contact with representatives of the magical world. That’s what happened this time, when Tom suddenly learned he had inherited from druids a treasure chest guarded by a gnome.
