Grandfather's Mysterious Key is a story of adolescent fantasy. It is created from the folklore of ancient Wales and brings to the twenty-first century the stories of magic and the wizard Merlin. For 3,000 years, the gatekeeper has arrived at the Druid's Gate for the spring equinox. In 2017, the last progeny of the great magician Merlin must make the journey through the isolated Welsh mountains. The survival of the human race will depend upon the success of young Owain Wynne. He must use the ancient key given to him by his grandfather to secure the gate. When the sun's rays strike the ancient door, the portal to the Underworld will open. If Owain fails to lock the Druid's Gate, the demons locked behind it will be freed. The Elf King, Gwyn ap Nudd, was imprisoned behind the gates by the great wizard Merlin during ancient wars between the Druids and the Elves. The evil king will stop at nothing to obtain the key and his freedom. Owain is the only human that can prevent Gwyn ap Nudd from reclaiming the world and enslaving the human race.
