But Harlequin is also digging for the Golden Carrot,which,says an ancient legend,will give him power over over all humans and animals. Harlequin believes it's buried somewhere on the farm. Then as more followers flock to the warren,Shylo wonders if the hunt for the Golden Carrot is a fun game or if Harlequin is plotting world domination. . .                            And when the quest turns deadly,Shylo calls in the Royal Rabbits.
