Upon the windswept moors of Caled, lie an untold number of doors...Maisie chose the wrong week to travel north. Partnered with, of all people, Jasper for the Ancients Challenge, (he of the shaggy hair and oddly disarming grin), she finds herself upon the chilly Caledian wolds, following a cryptic trail of clues as the pair attempts to unravel the mysterious fate of an ancient Celtic queen. But the northern lands are home to much more than mere legends and tales of long ago, and Maisie and Jasper soon find their Challenge transformed into one of desperate survival as they fight to endure the menacing King's Road and all - shadow or no - who dwell there. For autumn has arrived late in the north, the doors of Caled gleam in the waning light, and Eve's Children have awakened.Set in the Nine Marked Worlds universe, The Doors of Caled, Book I of The Parchment Papers, blends myth, mystery, and legend into a heart-pounding, whimsical tale of magic and non-stop adventure.

Izzy Arundell, Adventurer's Apprentice is a force to be reckoned with! Isabel Arundell's life is anything but exciting, until the unexpected arrival of her eccentric Great Aunt Nina-she of the too loud laugh, scandalous behavior, and a mischievous monkey called Pip.Before she realizes it, Isabel, (Izzy to her friends), finds herself in Whitby, England on the adventure of a lifetime. There, she and her new cohort Marianne pledge to unravel not only the mysteries of Whitby-with its haunting old Abbey and gaggle of ghosts, including the powerful Wraith of Saint Hilda-but also discover the true identity of the mysterious (and amazingly rude), Countess Báthory de Ecsed, as well as her servant William. (The poor boy seems positively mesmerized - word number twelve on Izzy's Words to Know List.)Armed with Aunt Nina's GAL (rhymes with hall) Theory, the two aspiring Adventurer's Apprentices set out, following a meandering trail of shocking clues and breathtaking challenges. Will they ferret out the truth behind Aunt Nina's oddly evasive behavior? Is she truly who she claims to be, or something else entirely? And what part might Patrin, the scowling, dark-eyed Traveler play in this puzzle? These queries and more entwine, raising the stakes higher still when village girls begin to disappear-and Izzy and Marianne must risk their own lives in one final, fateful encounter.Magic, wit, and whimsy abound in this twisting tale of mysterious legend and fantasy. Izzy Arundell is based upon historical characters and set in the picturesque village of Whitby England, the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's classic Dracula.
