BOOK 2 in the series:
Magster and the Auriaku Koi.
The adventures continue…..

↓

Magster the Cockapoo and her human daddy, Paul, go for a walk in the woods…and so begins Magster’s journey.

A Mysterious Stranger recruits her as a special agent for the Mystic Council of Mages. Her first mission is to protect the Light of the Ladybird and so their adventures begin.
After a nail-biting duel, Magster’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with is sealed and her work for the Mystic Council of Mages has only just begun.

Soon afterwards, Magster and Paul are called upon again for her second mission…The Auriaku Koi.

Magster and Paul are enjoying a quiet evening’s rest. Tomorrow morning, they are meeting Mandel the Mage to find out about Magster’s next mission.
An uninvited guest arrives at their house, that very evening and the plan has changed.
Magster and Paul soon learn that her next mission will be very different from her first and time is of the essence.
Once again, the enemies of the Mystic Council of Mages know more than they should and the fate of the Auriaku Koi hangs in the balance.
The Mystic Council’s next move must be decided soon, because it has become obvious that Titus and the Ghost Salamanders are never far behind and stealing these legendary golden fish is not their only quest… they are coming after Magster, too!
