East of Midnight

'Come, hurry and get in.' Dekteon was afraid. Where would the cart take him? 'You have no other place to go to,' the pale man said. And that was true enough. 'I've nothing to lose,' said Dekteon, and the words seemed ominous. Yet how could he know what worlds there might be to lose - or win?This edition was published as #15 in the MagicQuest series by Ace Books, a reissuing of classic young adult fantasy novels.
