Novellization of the first Land Before Time. Taking on the movie we all love, adding details and depth as well as showing the movie in the order of scenes that was originally intended (for those who don't know, The Land Before Time was significantly cut prior to its release)

"More than a century ago, before the Calamity, was an escaped prisoner, a boy with a secret he would not tell, a king with a grave mission, a wise young woman of silver hair, a traitor, and a father whose heart was torn between son and duty… This, my children, is a tale of that boy before he became the hero."

Story takes place after Trico returns to the nest, turns out he might need some more help, but from an unexpected source...
