Hunter Wilson barely escaped with his life from his last adventure in the Stranger World. Now he finds himself lost in his own world, thousands of miles from his home, and as far from discovering the secret of the Doors as ever. Meanwhile, Murphy the growff is on the other side, imprisoned in a fortress on the moon. Hunter's only hope to save his friend and make it back to the other world is to solve the puzzling riddle the trickster Raven told him when last they met. And if he can manage that, he'll still have his final and most terrible challenge left: to fight his way through a castle full of traps and monsters in order to face at last the immortal King of the Stranger World: the Dark Child.

When Hunter Wilson meets a kindly, scatterbrained wizard at the top of a tower, he hopes he's found an ally in his battle against the vengeful Dark Child. But before he knows for sure, he's thrown into another perilous quest: to climb down an endless stair into a dark pit and recover a magical artifact from the warlike demons. If he wants to make it back alive from this adventure, Hunter will have to master primitive magics, and maybe risk tampering with something even more primal: time itself.

Hunter Wilson is in trouble - even more than he realizes. His enemy, the Dark Child, has not only discovered what Hunter looks like and what he's been doing (namely, stealing all the Dark Child's precious treasures), he knows, even better than Hunter himself, where Hunter is going next: an eerie, maze-like museum full of magical artifacts, one of which is the Dark Child's most potent and terrible weapon. If Hunter can get this weapon, he'll be one step closer to saving both worlds. But who can he trust to help him? The museum's strange caretakers? The dog-monster Murphy, who might still be the Dark Child's servant? Esthuan Thievesbane, who is certainly a servant of the Dark Child, but might consider herself in Hunter's debt? Hunter will have to discover for himself before it's too late.

The land of fairies might not sound like a particularly dangerous place, but when Hunter Wilson finds himself transported there, he quickly discovers it's the most perilous part of the Stranger World he's seen yet. And dodging Faerie's tricks and traps only brings him closer and closer to a life-or-death game with the Queen of Faerie herself – not to mention a run-in with a servant of his true enemy: the mysterious Lord of All known only as the Dark Child.

Hunter Wilson finally found the magical world he'd been looking for all his life - then the Door closed to him. Now he's desperate to find a way back - any way back. But he's about to find out, some Doors are more perilous than others. Drowning or getting eaten by pirates might be the price he has to pay to go back to the world where he feels he truly belongs.
