The Keymaster and the Music Box (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917636803)

The story begins on a cold and dreary Thanksgiving Day in the beautiful Victorian house of the Logan family, located in the upper-class neighborhood of Concord, Massachusetts. That night, the Logans welcomed their new son, who was born two weeks earlier and had a distinctive birthmark on one of his arms. They named

the baby Andrew and called him Andy. Even though they were impressed by the perfection of his birthmark, they thought it was a simple sign of good fortune without imagining that it was a unique mark, the mark of the chosen one to save the realm of Ethernia (A parallel magical world, which secret entrance can be opened only by Andy it using a music box hidden in the attic of his house.)

On Halloween night, a few weeks before his 16th birthday, Andy receives the unexpected visit of two dwarfs from the realm of Ethernia, the same ones he believed were the product of his imagination (They came to protect him when he was seven years old, but disappeared months later, to avoid people thinking he was acting crazy since he was the only one who could see or hear them). They've returned to start preparing him to face his new destiny that was about to begin on the night of his 16th birthday. So, helped by Chester (his sixteen-year-old dog and gatekeeper), they unburied a mysterious leather bag from the rose garden of his house, which was buried there by the same dog the night Andy was born. They found a note (Riddle) and a small black box inside the bag. By Andy's birthday, he and his two small friends had solved the riddle written on the note. Consequently, they could open the small black box and find a golden key. This key opens an old music box hidden in the attic of the Logans' house. Inside this box are the two enchanted rightful rulers of Ethernia, and also carved the magic words that open the portal to this fantastic world. As Keymaster, Andy is charged with three complex tasks: to save this world from its evil ruler and break the music box's spell.

Follow Andy in this amazing and magical adventure, where he faces mythical creatures, solves difficult riddles, and even has his first romantic experience, all on his quest to beat the evil Zolthar and restore harmony and peace in Ethernia.
