Prologue
In 1986, an attractive young woman named Sarah was taking care of her baby step-brother while her father and step-mother had gone out for the night.
The baby, Toby, had been fed and put to bed early. The job was supposed to be simple; help the infant when ever help was required--no more, no less; however, the baby would not cooperate and began wailing at the top of his little lungs.
He wailed, screamed, and threw a tantrum until poor Sarah was exhausted and just about ready to give up, go back to her room and simply let Toby cry. In a final effort to comfort the miserable infant, Sarah picked him up and began to tell him a story about a beautiful young woman with whom a powerful and handsome Goblin King had fallen in love with.
She told of powers given to the girl and as she began to tell of them, she stopped suddenly, put the baby down and proceeded to the bedroom door. As she turned off the lights she said, "I wish the goblins would come and take you away…right now."
Much to her dismay the terrible goblins did just that. Her brother was whisked away by the Goblin King to the Goblin City in the Underground. Sarah was given thirteen hours in which to solve the Labyrinth. If she failed her baby brother was going to be turned into a goblin himself and would be the Goblin King's heir. If she won, she won the freedom of little Toby.
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, she fought her way to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that he had stolen. Though the Goblin King did not realize it, her will was as strong as his and her kingdom was as great.
The Goblin King offered Sarah her dreams in return for his keeping the baby. He told her, "I ask for so little, just let me rule you. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."
Sarah overcame the Goblin King by saying one line: "You have no power over me!" And with that the Goblin King was forced to send Sarah and Toby home and leave them, defeated.
