Synopsis: She inherited a home. And she inherited a world. Piper Dickerson's grandmother has passed away, leaving her Victorian cottage and acre of land as an inheritance. Piper and her grandmother shared a passion for words, and the house full of books and manuscripts is the perfect place to pursue her writing aspirations. But what the will doesn't specify is that the back door leads to an endless forest with a brook, populated by an extremely handsome elf, a mischievous dwarf, and a crotchety old wizard, among other fantastical creatures. Piper's home is the gateway to a magical adventure beyond her wildest dreams. And it is also a gateway to something darker - as Piper discovers the truth about her grandmother's death and the evil she must face to save two worlds. (from the back cover)
