Eridul, a land beyond our own, a magical place frozen in perpetual twilight and yearning to be set free from a struggle that has spanned generations.
Charlie’s world collapsed the day her sister Cassie left for a prestigious boarding school. Lost between confusion and anger, Charlie, an eleven year old girl, finds herself magically transported to the middle of a dark forest where her sulking attitude swiftly leads to her captivity. As Charlie works to escape her confinement, she discovers that her presence in this new world has tipped the balance of power, threatening to destroy not only this new fantastical place, but her own as well.
Cassie, on the other hand, has a whole new lease on life after being accepted into the prestigious Governor’s School for the Arts at Walnut Grove on full scholarship. At 16 years old, Cassie is just a bit older than her first year peers, and so finds herself stuck between newer students from prestigious families and the older students at the school. Striking up initial friendships with a small group of outcasts like herself, Cassie soon discovers that there is much more going on at the school and much more behind her scholarship than she had at first imagined.
In this fantasy and first book in The Chronicles of Eridul series, listeners will experience an audio universe that deftly combines the menace of traditional fairy tales, with a deep-rooted struggle between good and evil in an animal-ruled kingdom, and contemporary modern world economic themes tinged with Scrooge-y villainy.
When eleven-year-old Charlotte, vanishes from her apartment in a public housing high-rise, the real-world consequences for her aunt (and newly adoptive mother) include a visit from Child Protective Services. But Charlie has been whisked away to Eridul, where her mysterious powers are coveted by warring factions who seek to heal–or destroy–their fractured world.

In Chapter 2, Charlie leaves the path in the forest, intent upon finding her own way home but instead is taken captive.
