When Sara and Jamie discover the seemingly ordinary artefacts, they sense the pull of a dim and distant place - beyond the gates to the Otherworld. A world of mists and forests, of ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards . . . and restless evil.
With their friends and enemies alike - Blue, the biker; Keiran, the folk musician; an inspector with the Royal Canadian Mountain Police; and the myterious Tom Hengyr - they are drawn into this dangerous, wondrous land through the portals of a house that straddles two worlds.
Sweeping from twilight realms to the noisy streets of present day Ottawa, it captivates and entraps the reader in a fantastic struggle between this world and the Other, between good and evil, reality and true magic.
