About this book

In the great city, in the dimly lit office of an impossibly tall building, two creatures meet. Gold changes hand, and the master of the House of Hellebore gives an order: 'War is coming. The child must die.'In our own world, a young man, Theo, discovers a manuscript written by his great uncle. It seems to be a novel - a strange fairy tale of fantastic creatures and a journey to a magical realm. But it is written as a diary . . . as if the events were real . . . as if his uncle had sought and found another world. Or a if another world had come to him. Now the gateway to the shadowy realm has been opened once again - and it is Theo's fate to take that dangerous road. Beyond the gate there waits a power both immortal and perilous, a power that suffers no rival, a power that even now prepares for war . . .
