Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, John Donne was incapable of being just one thing. In his myriad lives he was a scholar of law, a sea adventurer, a priest, an MP—and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language. Along the way he converted from Catholicism to Protestantism, was imprisoned for marrying a sixteen-year old girl without her father’s consent, struggled to feed a family of ten children, and was often ill and in pain.

Esta es una historia que transcurre entre dos mundos. El mundo real, donde nada extraordinario parece suceder. Y el Archipiélago, un territorio plagado de islas donde la magia pervive y los humanos que lo habitan conviven con criaturas mitológicas como dragones, centauros, quimeras, esfinges o unicornios. Esta es la historia de lo que pasó cuando Christopher atravesó la senda entre los dos mundos. Y de cómo conoció a Mal y emprendieron un épico viaje para salvar la magia del Archipiélago y a todas sus criaturas imposibles.

Cuando Christopher Forrester se despierta inesperadamente con un dragón diminuto mordiéndole la cara, su corazón da un salto de alegría. Durante meses ha soñado con regresar al Archipiélago, el conjunto de islas secretas donde aún habitan todas las criaturas de la mitología. Lo que no esperaba era verse envuelto en una misión de rescate a lomos de una esfinge, ni tener que infiltrarse en la guarida de un dragón.

Als ihr Großvater, der König, einem heimtückischen Attentat zum Opfer fällt, wird Prinzessin Anya zur Gejagten im eigenen Reich. Ihr Vater wird des Mordes beschuldigt und in den Kerker geworfen, während ihr machthungriger Onkel nach dem Thron greift. Gemeinsam mit Christopher, dem Hüter der Fabelwesen, muss sie nun nicht nur ihren Vater retten, sondern das gesamte magische Reich vor dem Untergang bewahren.

O que ele não imaginava é que, muito além dos nevoeiros e das lendas de cidades do interior, ali se esconde um portal para o impossível. Num piscar de olhos, ele se vê cara a cara com uma criatura lendária, lançando-o numa aventura que mudará seu destino para sempre.
