Long ago, Malabron the Night King tried to turn all stories into one - his story, a nightmare of absolute power. But when Will, a rebellious teenager, stumbles from the present into the realm where stories come from, he is caught up in Malabron's evil designs. Aided by some of the story folk - including the feisty Rowen, her grandfather Penrose (a loremaster) and Shade, the laconic but loyal wolf - Will must combat a host of perils, if he is ever to find the gateless gate that will take him home.
