A murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, {{spoiler|known to us as J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams}} on a rainy night in London during the First World War. An eccentric little man called Bert {{spoiler|H.G.Wells}} tells them that they are now the caretakers of The Imaginarium Geographica, an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. These lands, Bert claims, can be traveled to in his ship The Indigo Dragon, one of only seven vessels that is able to cross the Frontier between worlds into the Archipelago of Dreams. |
