Griffin discovered that the lighthouse he was tending with his dad was no ordinary lighthouse. It was a portal between worlds. He was able to travel via the lighthouse to Somni. Now he has narrowly escaped the soldiers at Somni and he has his new friend, Fi, with him. All the worlds connected with the lighthouse as a portal, are now threatened by the greedy soldiers on Somni. Each world has its own kind of magic and the soldiers want to capture all of it and use it for their own, evil purpose.   

       

I loved the first book and was so excited to to see this one. Melanie Crowder has created some believable worlds and corresponding inhabitants. The characters are great and I felt like I was "right there" with Griffin and Fi. If you liked the first book, you will love this one.
