As any visitor quickly learns, New York City is dog country. One afternoon when the author was hurrying to get her granddaughter to an afternoon play, the child wanted to pet every single dog they met. Finally, afraid they would be late, the author told her granddaughter she could pet all the dogs she wanted to on the way back. That worked. They made it to the play on time. That evening she went home and drafted the story.

Kessa is keenly aware of the supernatural factors in everyday life all around her in her rural Irish home. Cellar doorways simply appear, then disappear into stone walls. And what is the curious coin that Uncle Bernard dropped? Her audacious attempts to uncover the particulars are thwarted. She keeps pushing, resilient, in a life where the improbable meets the impossible as she waits for her father to return. An encounter with a nightmare dragon spurs her to action. She uncovers a secret portal and unwittingly sets in motion the fulfillment of an ancient curse loosed by her father's vengeful enemy. The only way out is a fight to the finish with the horror the madman unleashes. But first Kessa and her father must each find, confront and de-fuse the booby traps the curse has lodged deep within their own souls.
