When Gideon Biddle discovers that he has the power to walk through shadows into a parallel world called the Midlands, he finds himself lost in a strange world where magic still exists, people race dragons, and where being human is against the law. Pursued by the MRA (Middling Relations Agency) on Earth for being a traitor and a spy and wanted for murder and intent to cause war in the Midlands, Gideon is befriended by a dragon rider, Emily Teague, and a Renegade Wizard, Griffin Nightshadow. Together this unlikely trio must race to find the Sword of Rosinell before the dragons of the Midlands can destroy the rift separating the two worlds. A quest to not only save the Midlands but his own world as well.

The edge of darkness is where revenge begins. In the darkness of night, a frightening new enemy has emerged to threaten the safety of the two worlds. Gideon Biddle, the boy who can walk through shadows, returns to the magical world of the Midlands in order to save Griffin Nightshadow from his Drack mentor, Ign Creech. Facing the dangers of wild magic, Gideon must delve into the past of Griffin and Zephren Raginall in order to stop the terrifying Ambient Army from conquering the Midlands once and for all.

Spending his vacation in a boarding school where students vanish from all records and memories isn’t Gideon’s ideal plan for summer break, but as a fledgling agent for the Shadow Knights, his first assignment is to discover why. Gideon Biddle is a fourteen-year-old boy living with one foot in the world of Humans and the other in a world of magic. Having no magical abilities, the Shadow Knights recruited Gideon because of his past heroic acts. Unfortunately, Gideon cannot remember any of the events that earned him the title Sir Biddle, Knight of the Shadows. Gideon’s goal to find security and stability ends as his first mission sends him to a private school for Middlings and Humans severing the thin thread of family he had with his foster parents the Simples. A longstanding rivalry draws Gideon into a dangerous game with deadly results. Unless Gideon can unlock the secrets of Fallenbridge Academy, a malevolent secret hidden in the school’s past will be released, destroying magic forever.

Excerpt from Letters From an Oregon RanchHow did we find it? It -happened rather strangely. Last summer, in a purely accidental way, there drifted to us a little pamphlet from a real-estate agent, in which we learned more than we had ever known of the beauties and attractions of Oregon. We read of her glorious snow-capped mountains, of great dim forests, of sparkling trout-laden streams, of wooded hills and blossoming valleys, swiftly flowing rivers, and fern shaded springs of delicious cold water gushing from rock and hillside. From that hour the madness was in our blood. We said, Let us act at once, and not stand shivering on the brink. And so the leap into the unknown was taken, landing us in a small town here in the height of the rainy season. Then, under skies that were ashen and sober, in prosy fact as well as poetic figure, began the search for our new homes. It was like searching for the Golden Fleece.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
