From legendary Hollywood director Chris Columbus (Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter
and the Chamber of Secrets) and bestselling author Ned
Vizzini (It's Kind of a Funny Story) comes this
first book in an epic new fantasy series. Brendan,
Eleanor, and Cordelia Walker once had everything: two loving
parents, a beautiful house in San Francisco, and all the
portable electronic devices they could want. But everything
changed when Dr. Walker lost his job in the wake of a
mysterious incident. Now in dire straits, the family must
relocate to an old Victorian house that used to be the home
of occult novelist Denver Kristoff—a house that feels
simultaneously creepy and too good to be true. By the
time the Walkers realize that one of their neighbors has
sinister plans for them, they're banished to a primeval
forest way off the grid. Their parents? Gone. Their friends?
A world away. And they aren't alone. Bloodthirsty medieval
warriors patrol the woods around them, supernatural pirates
roam the neighboring seas, and a power-hungry queen rules
the land. To survive, the siblings will have to be braver
than they ever thought possible—and fight against their
darkest impulses. The key may lie in their own connection to
the secret Kristoff legacy. But as they unravel that legacy,
they'll discover it's not just their family that's in danger
. . . it's the entire world.
