If he cannot believe in himself & accept that he is much more than what he sees in the mirror, the Dark Master will have finally won. Violet has absolute faith in him; Narya trusts that Destiny will always find a way; only Charlie cannot understand why or how he can possibly be the hero they all think he is - & he doesn't believe in magic either! When he loses everything to the forces of the Dark he has no choice but to join Violet in her search for the other Watchers of the Crystal shards & hope that somehow along the way he finds the magic & the belief in himself before it's too late. ""Dark"" is the opening book in the spectacular ""Crystal Legacy"" series; we join Charlie and his friends as they start an epic adventure that will change their lives forever, battling their way across a magical world that is not as far removed from our own world as you might at first think & facing trials and tribulations that will test their courage, self-belief, loyalties & friendship to the limit.
