Quernstone is our valley. It's a different world from what most people know...But Fay is different from everyone else in Quernstone. It's as though she's two people in one. When someone threatened to kidnap Fay she turned to the Ooser to save her and ordered Gavin to wear the ancient mask. What happened next meant disaster if anyone found out. As usual, Gavin felt it was Fay or the Ooser in control of his life. He could have done without more problems because he had enough of his own - like a stepfather who was trying to destroy him.
