The lives of two ordinary children, living nearly a century apart, are transformed when their summer holidays suddenly take a turn for the magical.
Elliot lives in a small town in 1966 America, and Victoria lives in a grand manor house in 1890 Britain, but they have something in common: a love for faerie tales and adventures. So it's most fortunate when they happen upon a gate that transports them both to Faerieland. But they've scarcely had time to marvel at the wonder of it all when the Faerie Queen dispatches them on separate perilous quests in order to protect her kingdom -- and all the interwoven worlds -- from the evil Shadow Knight.
Their journeys -- filled with everything from fierce dragons to flying pirate ships to woodland dwellers with strange appetites -- take them to fantastic realms and unexpected places fraught with life threatening dangers. Do Victoria and Elliot have what it takes to complete their quests and confront the dreaded Shadow Knight? With a little faerie magic on their side, anything is possible.
The Faerie Door is a heart pounding magical adventure that will stir the imagination and leave readers enchanted.
