The Dark Portal (The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Dead leaves blew across their path as the carriage rolled up the long drive. Ahead, the large redbrick building loomed, jail-like, its shadowed front porch deserted, its pointed turrets scraping the undersides of the gray marble clouds. At last, they stopped before the entrance. Derek got out and went to let the school staff know they had arrived for their scheduled appointment; Miss Helena had set it up this morning. Restless over his upcoming speech, Jake couldn’t sit still any longer and jumped out of the carriage, following Derek up to the door. He hoped some inspiration came soon, otherwise, he was going to stand there stammering like an idiot in front of the whole school. At the same time, he had not forgotten about the ghost he had spotted floating around here dressed in a black scholar’s cap and gown. Wondering if he’d have another sighting, he jogged up the few steps onto the porch, while Derek knocked on the double front doors. The warrior looked askance at Jake. “Cheerful place, eh?”
