Synopsis

Hasta hace poco Olivia, Brendan, y Eleanor Pagett (15, 13, y 10), lo tenían todo: padres amorosos, una casa grande en San Francisco, el equipo más moderno... Pero todo cambió cuando su padre perdió su empleo como consecuencia de una transgresión violenta que no puede explicar. La familia se muda a la casa de Kristoff, un lugar misterioso construido casi un siglo antes por un escritor de fantasía con una inclinación por las ciencias ocultas, Denver Kristoff. De repente, los hermanos se encuentran en el corazón de un peligroso mundo nacido de la imaginación de Denver Kristoff, en una búsqueda para recuperar un libro oscuro de poder incalculable, y descubrir la historia secreta de la familia Pagett y así salvar a sus padres... y tal vez incluso al mundo.
