Publishers Description: Steven Taylor is an assistant bank manager in a quiet little Mid-West town; his roommate Mark Jenkins is a high school history teacher. Stevens bored with his job; the thought of going through all the accounts that havent had a single transaction in the past 25 years sounds even more boring - until he discovers one old prospector left USD17,000 in October 1870; its now worth 6.3 million dollars. Theres a safe deposit box too, 17C, thats never been opened in all those years. And it would have remained closed if Steven hadnt been browsing through a Denver antique store: as well as a dresser for his sister, he found a new girlfriend, Hannah, the owners daughter ...and, in a jar of oddments, the long-missing key to Idaho Springs Safety Deposit Box 17C. And without that key, hed never have found the tapestry that sucked him and Mark into the land of Rona in the strange new world of Eldarn, where they are immediately captured by a group of Ronan resistance fighters. Rona has been occupied by Malakasia for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. Now an evil tyrant rules the land, but he wants more: he wants the key that will open the path for an ancient evil to manifest once and for all. And Steven and Mark need this same key if they are ever to get home to Idaho Springs ...
