'In an old tunnel under France, a door leads to a tiny pocket universe called Tsarfat. If you survive the passage through that door, you will become an Envoy to an Earth that’s just a bit different from ours. Earth2 not only has many kinds of magic, it has government offices to regulate that magic.

'Once you’re through the door, people will call you a Green Child, or a superhero. So many of your dreams will come true.

'Something is very wrong on Earth2. The Green Children are dying. Pits full of fire and brimstone are opening in churches. Doors into a Nazi-ruled universe are appearing.

'The Green Children and their friends at the Offices of the Non-Natural Environment have two new tasks: to save themselves … and the world.'

'Some keys open doors to strange worlds…

'It’s the dream of many an artist to win a fellowship to a country house retreat. The three who do are old schoolfriends. But neither the house nor their friendship is what they think. Both are at risk of destruction, for the house is magic and too many people want to own it.'
