  <default_description>In this enthralling new tale from bestselling author Christopher Golden, one man is drawn into a realm just across the veil from our own, where every captivating myth and fairy tale is true, the vanished exist&amp;#8211;and every fear is founded&amp;#8230;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yielding to his father's wishes, Oliver Bascombe abandoned his dream of being an actor and joined the family law firm. Now he will marry a lovely young woman bearing the Bascombe stamp of approval. But on the eve of his wedding, a blizzard sweeps in&amp;#8211;bringing with it an icy legend who calls into question everything Oliver believes about the world and his place in it&amp;#8230;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Pursued by a murderous creature who heeds no boundaries, Jack Frost needs Oliver's help to save both himself and his world&amp;#8211;an alternate reality slowly being displaced by our own. To help him, Oliver Bascombe, attorney-at-law, will have to become Oliver Bascombe, adventurer, hero&amp;#8211;and hunted. So begins a magnificent journey where he straddles two realities&amp;#8230;and where, even amid danger, Oliver finds freedom for the very first time.</default_description>
