"Most overnights as a security officer are uneventful. On this wintery December night in Farmington, Minnesota, Winston certainly did not expect to find a secure door left ajar while walking sub-level six on his rounds. Nor had he imagined the routine tasks of his job, investigating the open door, would lead to a stone corridor, a man chained to the wall, and another figure standing in the open doorway, closing the door to sub-level six, trapping Winston in the world of Faerie, with no perceivable way home. Now Winston must survive a struggle for power, pursuing predators, uncover the answer to why the silhouetted man in the doorway chose him, and discover his path home."
