Nelson Chilwell lost his mother in the confusion of a fire at their home. In The Gatekeeper's Daughter I, he learned of another world of Kings and Queens and nobles and a beauteous daughter of the Gatekeeper, a humble man with magical powers. With the aid of a rat living in his coal bin, he crept through the rat hole into this wondrous place. His adventures continue as he battles the evil Prince Vassily, the bewildering Wolf Woman Lupina and engages fully in a brave new world.
