The Toadhouse Trilogy
Aine believes herself to be a regular teenager, but when a blue-eyed monster named Biblos attacks, she discovers that the reclusive woman raising her isn't really her grandmother and that she's been living inside a famous novel for the past five years.
With her blind brother, Spenser, she flees the book she's called home, one terrifying step ahead of Biblos's black magic. Her only chance at survival lies in beating him to the three objects that he desires more than life, all of them hidden within the pages of classic literature.
As she undertakes her strange and dangerous odyssey, Aine must choose between a family she doesn't remember and her growing attraction to a mysterious young man named Gilgamesh.
