When Will Lightfoot crashes his father's motorbike, he is catapulted to another world - one of knights, mages and talking creatures, where everything is familiar yet strange - the world of Story. Ages ago, this Perilous Realm fell under the shadow of the Night King and his desire to control all stories. Now, unwillingly caught up in the struggle against this ancient evil, Will must face a host of perils if he is ever to find the gateless gate that will take him home.
