    Benjamiah does not believe in magic. But after receiving a mysterious doll that can transform into a bird, Benjamiah travels to another world. Everyone in Wreathenwold has a similar doll, and they claim that Benjamiah's doll belongs to him. Lost and confused, Benjamiah thinks he is about to end up in jail. Thankfully, a man rescues him and brings him home. Elizabella, the man’s daughter, is very nervous about the new boy. Her brother Edward recently went missing, and her father is letting a new boy sleep in his room. Although unknown at this point, her father has a reason for this. It is easy to get lost in Wreathenwold. If you wander more than a few blocks from home, you will never find your way back. There is a protective magic that prevents people from mapping the world or travelling too far. As Elizabella and Benjamiah seek answers about Edward using their bond as twins, they learn that Edward left to map out a path. Unfortunately, he got mixed up in a plot to overthrow the magi and the witch. Will Elizabella and Benjamiah be able to save him and complete his quest? A sweeping portal fantasy with magic, intrigue, and gripping stakes.
