Synopsis

Castle by the Sea brings the World Weaver Trilogy to a close with Larkin, an apprentice world weaver, facing his most difficult test in the series of three tests he must pass in order to enter the brotherhood of master world weavers. He is accompanied by Peggy, his best friend and confidant. Larkin has been instructed by his father to use his remarkable power against the evil wizard Zandar, a reincarnation of Larkin's evil Uncle Gurnacht, who almost obliterated the Milky Way Galaxy in Book I of the trilogy. Zandar is attempting to destroy all the free people on the planet Eldora as a prelude to launching his evil back into the universe. Larkin's task seems simple until he arrives on Eldora and discovers that he has almost no use of his power. Through a series of adventures, he realizes that one way he can tap into his power is by unleashing the anger and hate that every person carries within them. At the last minute, when he is about to lose himself to Zandar, he learns the most important lesson of his apprenticeship.
