Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A mysterious forest near the cozy town of Herogate, England is more than what it seems. The gnarled trees appear to breathe, gloomy storms follow you around, and prowling shadows come to life before your very eyes. Referred to as The Dark Wood by the townsfolk, the forest is guarded by a strange old man and creatures not of this world. Even the locals never set foot in the bewitched woodlands, and trespassers have a way of turning up dead.When Noah Walters moves to town with his parents, his father--a contractor working on a top secret project for a private security firm--makes Noah promise to never enter those woods; but he doesn't know that Fate has other plans.Noah and his new best friends, Ethan and Skye, are chased into The Dark Wood by Grucker, a schoolyard bully, and their lives are changed forever.

They are challenged with secrets to keep, a dangerous mission to accomplish, and a test of courage that will bring them face-to-face with magical creatures they thought only existed in fairy tales.This is more than a tale of discovery, mystery, and excitement; it's an epic adventure that will usher you into a world where magic is in the air, in the trees, and in every heart.SERIES GLIMPSELong ago, gifted humans known as Betwixters traveled between three magical realms and ensured the world existed in harmony.
