1. Glenraven
Sophie had lost a child. She was looking for peace and rest. She didn't know what it was, but Glenraven promised her that.
JayJay had bad luck with husbands - a three-time loser now, all she wanted was to be a million miles away from her small North Carolina town.
Glenraven. It seemed to be an Alpine principality somewhere in the neighborhood of northern Italy - according to the unique guidebook advertising its charms, and indeed obscure, almost non-traversable Alpine passages constituted the only way in. But in reality Glenraven was a magic kingdom detached from our world - a magic kingdom in trouble.
All the people of Glenraven wanted was a couple of heroes from the outside to free them from a millennium of rule under a dictator compared to whom Vlad the Impaler was Santa Claus. What the people of Glenraven got were JayJay and Sophie.
2. In The Rift
Kate, a young woman in a small North Carolina town, comes into possession of a magical book that links her to the alternate world of Glenraven. Four denizens of that world, only one really human in appearance, arrive in her front yard. Kate kills the monster pursuing them, then learns that both Earth and Glenraven are in danger and must unite against the enemy. The Glenraven exiles help Kate defeat local thugs who attack because of her Wiccan religion; at the same time, she and Rhiana, the most human of the visitors, explore her latent magical talents. Meanwhile, in Florida, Callion, an exiled wizard from Glenraven, plots his takeover of Earth. Kate and the exiles travel to confront him, with the more alien-looking Glenraveners pretending to be costumed science fiction fans. (This, plus comparisons of our world and the quasi-medieval society of Glenraven, provides a fair amount of humor.) Callion, we learn, has an evil entity in captivityone that feeds on human flesh. We also learn that one of the exiles is a traitor, seeking to make common cause with Callion to return to Glenraven and seize power. With each of the aliens having a separate agenda, and with Kate becoming more and more alienated from her own society, the tension builds until the confrontation with the wizard. There are a few satisfactory twists of plot before Kate manages to defeat the evil wizarda triumph that is as much a victory over herself as over the external enemy.
