Someone in London, seventy years in the future, has found a way to open a door to Flynnes world. And as utterly beguiling as London is... its also dangerous. As Flynne searches to discover who has connected their worlds, and for what purpose, her presence here sets dangerous forces into motion...forces intent on destroying Flynne and her family in her own world.
