Description

When Charmain agrees to look after her Great-Uncle William's cottage, she expects a quiet stay, but she gets far more than she bargained for. The cottage, it turns out, is a magical nexus, its single door leading to an astonishing array of places and times, and Charmain finds herself responsible for a stray magical dog, a bumbling apprentice, and a vital royal document. Her unexpected duties quickly embroil her in a kingdom-wide search for a legendary artifact, drawing in powerful wizards, a fearsome beast, and even the infamous Sophie and Howl. As Charmain navigates the chaos and the bewildering magic of the house, she uncovers secrets that will surprise everyone, especially herself.
