Inferis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998673603)

There are worlds below us.

Of course, Tim Fischer isn't aware of that when he accepts a house-sitting position in upstate New York. All he knows is that he needs a change from his soulless job and wasted life spent alone. His friends Sophia and Lawrence visit him in New York for a pleasant afternoon hike, where they run into the gorgeous, unhinged gas-station cashier that Tim can barely speak to. The four of them find themselves in awe of the scenery. No, not the picturesque landscape of New York wilderness-the undiscovered civilizations that lie in hidden caverns.

They've stumbled farther than they meant to. They're trapped-helplessly lost and in danger-until a geeky hermit living under the earth offers to guide them through a labyrinth of tunnels to an entirely new world. Panoramic skies illuminated by floating violet creatures, death-worshippers hunting for their lives, a forest sorceress guarding the secrets of nature...every lethal step is the journey of a lifetime. In Inferis, Tim finds love, happiness, strength, and himself. If only he can find his way out.
