Adventure awaits in the Five Kingdoms--come and claim it in this start
to a new series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the
Fablehaven and Beyonders series.
Cole Randolph was just trying to have a fun time with his friends on
Halloween (and maybe get to know Jenna Hunt a little better). But when a
spooky haunted house turns out to be a portal to something much
creepier, Cole finds himself on an adventure on a whole different level.
After Cole sees his friends whisked away to some mysterious place
underneath the haunted house, he dives in after them--and ends up in The
Outskirts.
The Outskirts are made up of five kingdoms that lie between wakefulness
and dreaming, reality and imagination, life and death. It's an
in-between place. Some people are born there. Some find their way there
from our world, or from other worlds.
And once you come to the Outskirts, it's very hard to leave.
With the magic of the Outskirts starting to unravel, it's up to Cole and
an unusual girl named Mira to rescue his friends, set things right in
the Outskirts, and hopefully find his way back home...before his
existence is forgotten.
