What would you say if I told you there is a book that tells you where magic comes from? What would you say if I told you that this book also tells the story of a mysterious island, the Isle of Mist, home to lumbering giants and flitting fairies? What would you say if I told you this Isle were real? That you can go there and visit all the places the book mentions and maybe discover the secrets of the Isle of Mist for yourself. That is exactly what apprentice conservator Wally Gobbet does after finding a forgotten medieval manuscript in the basement of the British Library. It leads him on an adventure to the Otherworld. On the way he battles the agents of a sinister organization called "The Order," as well as dragons and hobgoblins. This is a story with depth that draws on the history and culture of a real place, as well as the ancient Celtic and Norse mythologies.
