The main character, Christopher, is visiting his grandfather’s home in Scotland. While exploring the hills behind it, he is surprised to find a baby griffin—a creature that he never thought could exist—drowning in a lake. After saving the griffin, he discovers that his grandfather is the guardian of a secret portal that leads to a magical world.
