Als vier Schweden Anfang der 70er-Jahre ihre Initialen zusammenlegten, konnte niemand ahnen, dass der etwas kindlich klingende, tapsige neue Name zum Inbegriff feinster Popkultur werden würde. Ein gutes Jahrzehnt lang dominierten ABBA die Charts, die Discos und unzählige Parties. • Nach der Trennung des Quartetts war die Erfolgsgeschichte jedoch keineswegs beendet. Befeuert vom Musical und dem Film Mamma mia, begeistert die Musik von ABBA heute wieder Millionen Fans. • ABBA – Alle Songs und ihre Geschichten zeichnet die faszinierende Geschichte der schwedischen Ausnahmeband Song für Song nach, von den preisgekrönten Platin- Hits bis hin zu den weniger bekannten Songs – unterhaltsam, mitunter ironisch und stets getragen von Sympathie. Komplettiert wird diese Zeitreise durch viele, teils bisher unbekannte Fotos.

Nerak is defeated. Steven Taylor has cast the malevolent dictator's soul into the Fold's inky void - but the evil that controlled Nerak and brutalised the people of Eldarn has escaped, and taken Mark Jenkins with it. Steven must put his own feelings to one side, for Eldarn's fate still hangs in the balance, and he remains the land's only real hope. As he and his companions make their way across country, rallying what remains of their allies, Mark, no longer the affable teacher from Colorado, disappears into the foothills of the Blackstone Mountains, determined to excavate the Larion spell table and use its awesome power to destroy Eldarn. During an epic sea journey to the enemy strongholds of northern Malakasia, Steven discovers he is stronger than he thought, but a confrontation with Mark is inevitable ... Is Steven willing to kill his best friend and face eternal exile in Eldarn to save two worlds from annihilation? Return to Eldarn for this towering finale, where our heroes face a terrifying army of mutated beasts, and the mysteries of the Larion Senators are waiting to be unlocked, for good or for evil ...

The Larion spell table has been dormant for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. It waits in a forgotten chamber in Sandcliff Palace, the abandoned Larion Senate stronghold on Eldarn's North Sea. The spell table holds the power to see the people of the five lands safely through the oppression and brutality that have haunted them for generations, but without Lessek's key it is a worthless slab of granite - and Lessek's key itself is just a nondescript stone Steven Taylor and Mark Jenkins overlooked on the night they fell through the far portal into Eldarn. Retrieving the key and freeing Eldarn's people rests with Steven Taylor, the would-be sorcerer from Colorado, who is racing across America with Nerak, the fallen Larion dictator, hot on his heels. Steven must reach Idaho Springs and find Lessek's key before it falls into Nerak's hands and is lost for ever - and with it, the lives of untold millions, in both of Steven's worlds.
