Seuls Sam, jeune orphelin et piètre archer, ainsi qu'un sympathique golem très fort mais aussi très petit, peuvent l'aider à affronter l'infâme Cowboy-Boy. L'avantage qu'ils ont, cependant, c'est que Sam peut avoir accès aux pouvoirs d'un ancien héros légendaire... ceux du grand Shaman-Man!

No one is more surprised than Billy when he wakes up on a Chinese battlefield. Scooped from the jaws of death by a boy called Han, Billy's far from rescued. Taking refuge in the royal stables, the boys are soon held hostage by the Emperor Wu. He's at war with the Horse King whose powerful and magical herd of horses, the heavenly horses of Ferghana, he wants for his own. It takes all Billy's skills and a very special spirit horse to get Han to safety and Billy back to his friend Charles Darwin, a two-hundred-year-old talking tortoise.

Shaman by name and shaman by nature – Billy just hasn't found his magic...yet. His selfish globetrotting parents abandon him for yet another summer in Charles Darwin's strange museum-like house, where Billy stumbles across a 200-year-old giant talking tortoise named Charles Darwin, by the famous man himself. Charles D, the tortoise, knows every inch of the house and every artefact in it, and he's keen to help Billy realise his powers and set him on the path to adventure.
