Первая книга цикла «Летопись Туманного острова» о благородном и бесстрашном Урчине, который смог изменить историю целого королевства. Бельчонок Урчин родился в холодную и ненастную Ночь падающих звезд. С самого первого дня жизнь этого малыша была полна загадок и таинственных предзнаменований. Когда Урчин вырос, ему посчастливилось попасть на королевскую службу. Но трагические события в замке грозят королевству и самому Урчину большой бедой. Сможет ли бельчонок, упавший с неба, спасти своих друзей и узнать, что же на самом деле ему готовит судьба?

Туманный остров ждет своего нового короля Криспина. Но на праздник пожаловали неожиданные гости с острова Белых Крыльев. Они похищают храброго бельчонка Урчина, ведь только бельчонок со светлым мехом сможет помочь им справиться с врагами. А потом жители Туманного острова обнаруживают, что заветный камень, Сердце туманного острова, без которого коронация невозможна, кто-то заменил подделкой.

Приключения бельчонка Урчина, сына упавшей звезды, продолжаются!
Благополучное правление короля Криспина прерывается ужасным событием - похищена его новорожденная дочь, наследница Туманного острова. Все звери - белки, ежи, кроты и выдры - бросаются на поиски бесследно исчезнувшей Кэткин, но их усилия тщетны. А вскоре наступает страшная засуха и вспыхивает непонятная эпидемия. Однако это еще только начало бед, внезапно обрушившихся на Туманный остров… Сумеет ли Урчин со своими верными друзьями спасти любимый остров и найти его наследницу?

The animals of Mistmantle have enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity since the violent Raven War. Their tranquility is disrupted when tidal waves threaten to destroy the island. Mossberry, a squirrel with delusions of grandeur, sees the impending disaster as an opportunity to rise to power...and his reckless decisions will put many citizens in harm's way. Urchin of the Riding Stars must stop Mossberry and usher everyone to safety before it is too late. Along the way, the ultimate sacrifice must be made for the survival of all. Deeply moving and packed with adventure, this is a fitting conclusion to the beloved Mistmantle Chronicles.

After his last adventures, Urchin of the Riding Stars has taken his place as a trusted member of the Circle in King Crispin's court.

But daily life is disrupted when Lord Arcneck and other inhabitants of Swan Isle come to Mistmantle asking for help. Their home has been taken over by bloodthirsty ravens that are attacking them and ravaging everything in sight. The brave animals of Mistmantle rush to the aid of their friends, but in doing so, incur the wrath of the invaders upon themselves. The vengeful ravens are powerful and won't stop until they hunt down and destroy every creature on the island. Only by using all of their courage and cunning will Urchin and his friends stand a chance to preserve life as they know it on their beloved home.
