Who and what she encounters on her journey will mark her forever and may lead to the freedom of an entire race."With captivating detail, in-depth characters, and an intense, magical plot, Melton's first book in the Waverly Hall series packs a serious punch! ...keeps you enthralled until the end, waiting impatiently for the next book."~M.B. Weston, radio host and author of the Elysian Chronicles"Brian Melton's book is based on one of the most gripping fantasy concepts I've encountered in the last several years. Combine the mystery of Lewis's Wood Between the Worlds with the allure of your grandfather's attic and the aura of a grand old country mansion, add some characters as compelling as the setting, stir in cleverly disguised (and sometimes not disguised at all!) allusions to the canon of Western literature - oh! and the actual adventure hasn't even started yet. You can't wait until it does."~Donald T. Williams, author of Stars Through the Clouds and Mere Humanity?
