Under King Zar's sincere but timid rule, the Kingdom of Ierie is rife
with corruption, on the brink of another war and in need of a true
leader. Domino, a rebellious, young Goan who seeks to avenge his
mother's death, stumbles into the role of Hero only to find an even
greater destiny awaits him. With best friend Peenut, a sly mongoose,
Domino must leave behind the fun and festive teen spirit of Market
Square in the heart of the El Tuchuce Forest. But dodging Lagahoos,
outwitting Soucouyants and slaying giant Moongazers in his quest for
emancipation from the bewitching power of La Diablesse and her dark
reign over The Silk Cotton Forest, leads Domino to love and his life's
true purpose.
