Far beneath the sea, many ages ago, a power-hungry queen forged a key to a door never meant to be opened by mortals--and when Atlantis disappeared beneath the waves, so too did the key. Until a mermaid found it and used it to barter her freedom from a sailor...
In present-day Yorkshire, a young woman named Fern Capel and her brother, Will, are exploring the old house left to them by their seafaring uncle. It is here that Fern meets Ragginbone, a magician who tells her about a key that she must find. Fern possesses a rare magical Gift that is awakened as she hunts for this key that opens the Gate of Death...and in the wrong hands, it could mean death for all.
Ten years later, Fern is trying to deny her Gift and lead a quiet, uneventful life. But she cannot run from her own destiny. For Morgus, a witch from the Dark Ages, has returned to present-day England with two things in mind: to rule Britain, and to destroy Fern, a potential rival. Fern knows she must win at all costs. But she doesn't understand just what those costs might be...
