Book excerpt: Classmates Belle Marie, Tess Brown and Julien Edgehawk discover that having tea on Wednesday afternoons – barefoot and in pajamas – is the secret gateway into Belzerac, a strange new world of talking animals and a glittering sapphire forest. But while Belzerac is easy to access, it’s a little trickier to return from, and they might be stranded if they never find Belzerac's secret exit. Meanwhile, musician Orpheus is grief-stricken when his bride Eurydice dies on their wedding night. He departs the living realm and descends into the Underworld in search of her. Heading straight for the royal court of Hades and Persephone, Orpheus hopes to petition the King and Queen for Eurydice’s release. To his dismay, however, it seems the royal couple may not be the ones holding the keys to his wife’s freedom. In this sequel to the fantasy adventure novel, Tea in Pajamas, Belle and her friends – as well as Orpheus and Eurydice – all want the same thing: to be authors of their own fate. But they’ll have to learn that salvation isn't about a destination and has to come from within.
