The Mysterious Closet
A mysterious and apparently ordinary closet lies at the heart of Toby’s journey. Toby’s bedroom closet is a portal between his world and RiverHome, and it plays a pivotal role in the unfolding adventure. As Toby travels back and forth between the two realms, he discovers that the closet is a living entity with its own secrets and mysteries.
The challenges on the other side of the closet are some of the most harrowing that Toby faces. He will be forced to choose between vengeance and sacrifice, fear and courage.
Lush and Enchanted Forests
On his journey, one of the first wonders Toby encounters is the lush and enchanted forests that seem to go on forever. Trees taller than skyscrapers reach for the heavens, their branches forming natural bridges and staircases for the forest’s natives.
As Toby and his river elf friends embark on their Quest through these woods, Toby will encounter some allies and enemies, all the while learning more about himself.

Toby’s journey through this magical land is not without its trials. He must confront his deepest fears, outsmart cunning adversaries, and overcome challenging obstacles. The trials he faces serve as tests of his character, pushing him to dig deep within himself to discover the hero he never knew he could be.
What sets Toby’s adventure apart is the tongue-in-cheek humor that adds perspective, joy, and comic relief as Toby comes to terms with being a hero.
