A year later Quinn gives birth to Lilly and the Wildman of the Woods makes himself known to her and gives her a prophecy that had been lost in the depths of time. Three years later Quinn and Jackson have settled into their new lives with their daughter Lilly. It is the week Halloween and Quinn is throwing a masquerade party for Jack's birthday with the help of an unknown benefactor. While they are away an attempted kidnapping occurs with Lilly as the target, Jack suffers a seizure at the same time and two new characters are introduced...Lucy and Codey. A series of events take place that only add to the mystery of the Wildman of the Woods, but ultimately leads them across the ocean to a mysterious island. There they encounter many strange things and discover the Tomb of the Wildman. The anonymous benefactor finally abducts Lilly which ultimately leads Quinn and Jack to Monaco and this leads to Jack's death.

Then during Jack's funeral one more strange thing happens. Quinn accidentally drops the antique bottle from the hidden closet and brakes it. She and Jack had planned on opening it before all hell broke loose but had forgotten all about it with all the distractions.

Gateway to Eden

The following is the synopsis from the back cover. If you haven't read book two you should stop here.

The headlines all say the same thing; Jackson Williams was killed in an accident so brutal that not even his remains could be found. Quinn thinks she knows the truth; Jack is still alive. The message in the antique bottle, apparently sent by Jack himself through the depths of time confirms her theory. Even though she knows that time travel isn’t possible she can’t help but hope that the Great Mother has intervened somehow. In the meantime, Lilly remains in a coma and the doctors have no explanation for it, she is otherwise in perfect health. Lucy, Codey and Pierce are busy searching for the Guardians of Eden with the Darkness in pursuit. The Watchers decide to make a public appearance and make a deal with Quinn in hopes of defeating the Darkness. The question remains, will they be able to find the Guardians in time and open the Gateway to Eden before it’s too late? It all hinges on the actions of a dog, a horse and a little girl.
