The sun has not shone in over a thousand years. Sixteen
year old Felicity lives in a world where the Dark rules. Humanity stays to the
Wellsprings, illuminated swathes of land where the light of eternal fountains
keeps the skies bright all day long. But beyond that, the world is wrapped in
eternal shadows, filled with monstrous Horrors who pray on the unsuspecting.
When Felicity discovers that she is a Turnkey, a guardian selected to protect
the Wellsprings, her life unexpectedly changes. Not only is she gifted with a
magical Key with amazing abilities, but her fate soon takes her deep into the
Dark, where with the help of a mysterious boy named Tobin she must survive
astonishing odds. For it is soon that the Horrors begin hunting her, and a race
to get home is only the beginning of her worries.
