For a muse like Lucianíel, one story's end is another's beginning. In the wake of his author's sudden death, Luc takes ownership of her surviving creations--four fantastical characters with tales yet to be told--saving them from unwritten lives crumbling around them and giving them a second chance at a literary future. Luc finds that chance in the unsuspecting mind of Annabelle Iole Gray, a quirky teen with her head in the clouds, nose in a book, and imagination ripe for a brilliant muse's inspiration. Or so he hopes. Neither Luc nor Annabelle, however, realize all they've undertaken. Even with a to-write list including accounts of a shape-shifting cat creature, gentle knight-in-training, vigilante skater girl, and a mystery boy smothering in unspoken fear, the most remarkable saga created between author and muse just may turn out to be one stranger than fiction. Their own.

Welcome to Avalon, a Renaissance Faire where heroes of legend never die. Where the Robin Hood walking the streets is truly the noble outlaw himself. Where the knightly and wizardly players of King Arthur's court are in fact who they profess to be. Where the sense of enchantment in the air is not mere feeling, but the Fey magic of a paradise hidden in plain sight. Enter Allyn-a-Dale. The grief of his father's death still fresh and the doom of his own world looming, swirling realities leave the young minstrel marooned in an immortal Sherwood Forest, where he is recruited as a member of Robin Hood's infamous outlaw band. But Allyn's new life may reach its end before it's scarcely begun. Their existence under threat, the Merry Men are called upon to embark on a journey to the dangerous world Outside - ours - on a quest which must be achieved without delay, or eternity in Avalon will not amount to very long at all.

For the otherworldly Allyn-a-Dale, it¿s all in a day¿s destiny. For an already struggling Will Scarlet, it¿s a nightmare that may prove black enough to break him. And for the whole of the band, it¿s anyone¿s guess whether courage, cunning, and camaraderie can win out against their most infamous enemies: The Sheriff of Nottingham, Sir Guy of Gisborne, and ¿ for once in eternity ¿ Time.
