Exploring his Grandma's manor, an adventure is not what [Archibald Finch] was looking for--only his Christmas present. Instead, it's a family secret he stumbles upon. Key to that mystery: an ancient terrestrial globe, populated by the most fantastic beasts. When he unlocks the storm trapped inside, Archibald is thrust into the unknown--a dark land where a battle started in the Middle Ages is still unfolding. Befriended by a band of young witches with extraordinary powers, Archibald must learn their secrets to survive this cursed world and the strange beasts that roam it. Meanwhile, back in London, his sister having witnessed his bizarre disappearance, embarks on a quest to find him and bring him home.
