From the back of the book: Tower of terror

They called it Shadowkeep. Its evil had blasted the land and plunged it into darkness. Its malice had ravaged the countryside with foul creatures of the night that ventured forth from its walls. The bastion of one sorcerer's powerful magic, Shadowkeep was an abode of death that had stood longer than anyone could remember and few dared to challenge.

Now a new hero descends into the dreaded valley of the keep. Summoned by the cloaked and ghostly Spinner, he is Practor Fime, an apprentice blacksmith eager for adventure. But young Practor soon learns he must do more than carry a big sword and shout orders. To free his land, he must find the key to an ancient enchanment and conquer the castle from which no man has ever returned...
