On his 21st birthday, Gil Tyner stepped through a portal into the magical Buffer Zone between our world and the land of the fairies, leaving his life as a college student behind. Torn from everything he’d ever known, Gil rose to the challenge and mastered his new surroundings, becoming a slayer of both elves and dragons.
