'Sixteen's an interesting age: not quite a fully grown man, but not
a kid either. Anything is possible when you're sixteen.' Finmere
Tingewick Smith was abandoned on the steps of the Old Bailey. Under
the guardianship of the austere Judge Harlequin Brown and the
elderly gentlemen of Orrery House, Fin has grown up under a very
strange set of rules. He spends alternate years at two very
different schools and now he's tired of the constant lies to even
his best friends, to hide the insanity of his double life. Neither
would believe the truth! But on his sixteenth birthday, everything
changes. The Judge is killed, stabbed in the chest with a
double-edged sword that's disturbingly familiar, and from that
moment on, Fin is catapulted into an extraordinary adventure.
Through the Doorway in Fin's London, a hole in the boundaries of
Existence, lies another London -- and now both are in grave danger.
For the Knights of Nowhere have kidnapped the Storyholder, the
keeper of the Five Eternal Stories which weave the worlds together.
Because of the Knights' actions, a black storm is coming, bringing
madness with it. Fin may be just 16, but he has a long, dark
journey ahead of him if he is to rescue the Storyholder and save
Existence!
