An ancient Gateway between worlds is vulnerable, endangering life on earth. Two teens begin an epic journey to find out why. Since his mother's tragic accident, Will Owens has been a loner. And for good reason: he claims to see dark creatures emerging from the forest near his home. Ostracism is a way of life until he meets Morgan Finley, a fencing champion with everything going for her-except a dark family secret. In pursuit of answers, these unlikely friends enter the forest and discover a magical kingdom where a dragon has unleashed a powerful disease. When a young sage reveals their true identities, Will and Morgan join a small but courageous resistance on a quest to save the Fourwinds. Can friendship and hope stop the swelling tide of destruction from breaching the portal to our world?
