[close] The mysterious manor Evenmere, the High House, contains and preserves all Creation--until the Cornerstone is stolen and a False House raised around it in the Outer Darkness. Now all the worlds will be destroyed, unless Carter Anderson, the new Lord of Evenmere, can discover the location of the Cornerstone and defeat both the armies of anarchy and the nightmares of a stolen child.

The False House is the sequel to The High House, which received the Compton Crook/Stephen Tall Award for Best First Novel. These books are recommended to all readers who enjoyed C.S. Lewis's Narnia books or lamented the passing of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series. --Cynthia Ward [close]
