"The wolves are amongst us, my Lord, and no-one is to be trusted!" So says Mimir, the wise, to the god Thor, as a warning about the perils to come, in Part 1 of this fantasy-mystery adventure for 11 to 15 year olds.When Luke Curran and his four school friends decide to sleep out in the basement of a derelict old house - half for fun, half for a dare - they realise next morning that they've all shared in the same dream...but not just as distant observers of the action.The dream has taken them deep into the realm of Asgard, in the time of Norse myths, and they've been able to take a full part in the action by entering the minds and bodies of the gods and super beings who occupy that realm.They discover that the same thing happens every time they sleep down in that basement, and that they're now becoming part of an elaborately evolving story: a story which not only has all five of them as part of its plot - always playing the same characters, and interacting with one another in the dream as naturally as they would in everyday life - but is also, increasingly, beginning to spill out into their own lives, with unpredictable and potentially deadly consequences.Their meddling in the affairs of the Aesir, the house which includes Thor and Loki, and the emergence of a suspected traitor in their midst, provides the frost giants in the dream with an opportunity to rally their numbers in readiness for a fresh assault on power... but also unleashes dark and powerful forces into their own world.These forces not only threaten their own well-being, and almost cost one of them his life, but quickly attract the attention of a sinister character, who seems to be able to morph his shape and change his physical identity at will.This character eventually works out that the friends have stumbled upon an ancient portal between the worlds, which he can use to travel back in time to "right an ancient wrong" and "reverse an ancient spell". And it soon becomes clear that he'll stop at nothing to make sure that he gets exactly what he wants...Story continues in Part 2: The Skeleton Key.
