It appears a switchelstick may have been used on Muriel and Agnes in their last battle.
Who is who? Is the gateway safe?
Abby and her new friends seek to unravel the mystery.
They are plunged into adventures with many odd characters from the realms, while trying to save the realms from the evil Agnes.
