When fourteen year old Chance Kearney explored his grandmother's attic, he didn't imagine he would uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance, ancient Mi'Kmaq legends, and his inner strength. Living in Kentville isn't easy. With the notorious Peters family wreaking havoc, Chance tries to stay under the radar. An unexpected relationship with Crystal Peters changes everything. While in the thralls of a brutal fist fight, he, along with four misfit teens, unwittingly stumbles through a gateway. At first contact, the peculiar farisee people of Kahuiti, a parallel world, seem harmless. Rhiannon, the eccentric farisee queen, traps them. With the help of his new found allies, they attempt a bold and deadly escape. As evil lurks in the ominous forests, they battle Rhiannon's barbarous soldiers and form magickal coalitions. Chance must find the return gateway, before they're lost to the wilds of Kahuiti, forever.
