Amworth College, Connecticut -- a place where the gates between our world and the Land of Faerie are thin and crumbling, a place where horrors really do lurk in the shadows, and evils in the gardens. A place where the fates of worlds really does hide within the brushstrokes of a forgotten painting.

The house across the way has always been shrouded in mystery. Strange noises, eerie shadows, and whispers of its dark past have haunted the neighborhood for years. But when one man becomes obsessed with uncovering its secrets, he finds that some doors should never be opened.
