Cap took Vic and Gwen to Ocean Kingdoms Amusement Park. They went to the dolphin show where Vic "helped" Gwen volunteer to feed Shoru, the killer whale. Just as Gwen stepped up to hold a fish for Shoru, she noticed a man in the audience who was watching intently. He made her uneasy. Then, as she held the fish for the normally docile whale, she saw that Shoru was coming in much too fast. The trainer saw it too, and pulled Gwen aside just as Shoru would have bitten her arm off. Gwen noticed the mysterious stranger was the only one not upset by the incident. If anything, he seemed disappointed.

When Cap took them home, he told them he’d wake them at 3:30 the next morning to take a trip. The teens got themselves up to find Cap in the solarium working on an array of crystals he’d received in a shipment at the museum. When they stepped into the midst of the glowing stones, they found themselves in Elantya, a world where science and magic worked together. But Cap wasn’t with them and the Elantyan people couldn’t send them home.

Crystal Doors is the beginning of a trilogy that pits two teenagers against an immortal adversary who wants to enslave all the worlds which have a crystal door he and his immortal army can enter. If Azric isn’t stopped, no world will be safe. But can Elantya fend off the merlons long enough for the teens to destroy Azric? Read Crystal Doors and get ready to wait impatiently for volumes two and three.
