But he is destined to be a key player in another prophecy, this one about an ominous white rat called the Bane. The Underlanders know there is only one way to lure Gregor back to their world: by kidnapping his little sister, Boots.Gregor’s quest reunites him with his bat, Ares, and the rebellious princess, Luxa.
