But when they discover a door in the forest floor that leads to an alternate world with purple skies and fearsome creatures, everything takes a turn for the worse. Someone else has already been through that door, and it&’s triggered something incredibly dangerous. Maybe deadly. Back in Blight Harbor, strange disappearances are taking place.
