The Carousel

TO STAND AGAINST THE DARKNESS OR BE CONSUMED BY IT.

Headstrong with a devil-may-care attitude, Conrad Mariner wants nothing more than to live a life of adventure on his own terms. To make things worse, no one seems to understand his inability to comply with the insufferable monotony of his life. One night Conrad stumbles across a mysterious carousel in the woods. Unexpectedly, the carousel lurches to life and transports him to another world.

Upon arrival in Oldenland, he is tossed at the feet of a grieving father who is on a desperate search to find his missing daughter. When Conrad joins the man's quest to find the lost girl, he encounters inconceivable enchantment and unthinkable wickedness as he discovers his own family's connection to this magical world. While witnessing the effects of a manipulative form of magic, known as the Red Eye, Conrad learns just how powerless the people of Oldenland are against a darkness only he can see. Once faced with the truth about those who have wielded this power for centuries, Conrad is forced to make a life-altering decision.
