Return to Glome’s Valley is simply that – a return to a magical place of childhood friendship.

Ethan left Glome’s Valley because summer was over, and school was starting. After his adventures in the valley with Glome and the trolls, Ethan had to say goodbye to his new friends and go back to his world. He promised he would be back to play. He never said it would take 14 years. But he did come back, and things were mostly the same as when he was a child.

Mostly.

But the valleys around the Heavener Runestone are magic, make no mistake about it. And there are always new things popping up.

When Ethan finally returned to the valley, his father had passed. So has the archeologist who helped his father translate the stone and find Ethan when he was lost in the forest. But the house where Glome and the fairies lived was still there, though in disrepair. Soon, Ethan learned there were more creatures than he knew about when he was a boy. Trondelag the ancient dragon lived in the pond next to the house, and she was a formidable ally in the war against the trolls.

Another new inhabitant of the forest was Mac – a redheaded spitfire who reminded Ethan of himself as a child. And she believed!
