Each vacation for the past nine years, cousings Patrick, Ruth, Ellen, Ted, and Laura have played at a game they call the "Secret" - an invented, scripted world full of witches, unicorns, a magic ring, court intrigue, and the Dragon King. In the Secret, they can imagine anything into reality, and shape destiny. Then the unbelievable happens: by trick or by change, they actually find themselves in the Secret Country, their make-up identities now real. The five have arrived at the start of their game, with the Country on the edge of war. What was once exciting and wonderful now looks threateningly before them, and no is sure how to stop it...or if they will ever get back home.

Each vacation for the past nine years, cousins Patrick, Ruth, Ellen, Ted, and Laura have played at a game they call the "Secret" - an invented, scripted world full of witches, unicorns, a magic ring, court intrigue, and the Dragon King. In the Secret, they can imagine anything into reality, and shape destiny. Then the unbelieveable happens: by trick or by chance, they actually find themselves *in* the Secret Country, their made-up identities now real. The five have arrived at the start of their game, with the Country on the edge of war. What was once exciting and wonderful now looms threateningly before them, and no one is sure how to stop it... or if they will ever get back home.
