When a mysterious column of white light opens in an English forest, Hugo is seized and taken through a portal into a hidden world of magic and power.
What he discovers there will place him at the centre of a conflict that could decide the fate of Earth - and the realms beyond.
A blinding column of white light suddenly appears deep within an English forest. Thrown violently from his horse, Hugo lies dazed on the forest floor as strange beings approach. Unfamiliar commands echo inside his mind. When one of them points at him, a numbing force spreads through his body. Unable to resist, he is dragged towards the light - and pulled through the portal.
Beyond it lies a world unlike anything he has ever known. A world of powerful forces, hidden agendas, and dangers far greater than he could have imagined.
Why has this portal appeared?
What does it mean for Earth and its inhabitants?
And what deadly threats wait on the other side?
