Since she has become Keeper of the Book of Strangeways, BJ spends her days traveling throughout different realms, both real and imagined. On her journeys, she finds that outside of Crossroads, the creatures of myth and magic are falling ill. To save them, she must lure them back, to where they can be cared for and healed. But in doing so, BJ has opened a new road into Crossroads--and the land she loves in now in dire danger from the evil that has followed her home.
