The world is changing. Dark forces are circling, threatening to upset the balance of life and light. Shady characters are turning up on Moonkarta's shores and warning its people of change and revenge.
When evil forces arrive off the ancient shores of Moonkarta, the balance of everything is threatened. Can Splott and his friends protect the Tree of All Seeds, the magical Forbidden Forest with its precious stone circles, and more importantly, each other?
Join them on an epic tale that takes our gang on a voyage across seas and deserts, and to ancient lands, where astronomers watch the skies and where magic and legends rule.

Ep3: The Great Circus Danasko
Every Autumn the Great Circus Danasko rolls into Moonkarta. We join The Librarian at Beryl's. The Librarian recalls a time when the circus' arrival meant more than just a passing visit.
The Librarian introduces us to the Circus Master, who his also his brother, Esteban and we learn about a past made up of conflict and division, when the brothers, who were once the greatest trapeze act in the land, split to follow different dreams. Since then, they have never seen eye-to-eye.
Whilst in town, Esteban hosts a talent contest for the Moonkarta residents, but even in this there is an ulterior motive; to find someone with so little talent that his audience will find them hilarious.
Throughout the contest, Splott and Jansey's friendship is tested. Can Splott step up for Jansey in her time of need and prove himself to be a genuine friend?
Here, we also meet Potts; a loyal circus member of twenty years who has returned to Moonkarta to retire here. A brave man who has seen the world, Potts becomes a firm ally of The Librarian.
As the circus rolls back out of Moonkarta it is revealed that there is more to Esteban's scheming than was first thought, as he meets with Cirrina, Queen of the Octofolk. Esteban has marked Splott in exchange for the protection of his brother against what is to come, showing that their brotherly bond is not yet entirely broken.
