Read the fourth and final book in the Doormaker series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jamie Thornton. Finish the epic journey of magic, other worlds, and power. "…very evocative…" - BookNest, C.T. Phipps ★★★★★ Who will win control of the three worlds? Maella's been captured by General Foster—the very person hunting her family into extinction. He plans to force Maella and her brother, Esson, to use their doormaker powers to open access to the One Door. Once General Foster controls the One Door, he'll control all the worlds and hunt down the rest of Maella's doormaker family.  But when the relic that controls access to the One Door is discovered to be incomplete, Maella is confronted with what seems like her only option for survival: to align herself with Doormaker Tain—the uncle who drove her family to take refuge on Earth—in order to defeat General Foster.  Maella must return to Earth to complete the relic, but what awaits her at the One Door will determine the fate of all the worlds. Interview with the Author Q - In what order should people read the Doormaker series? Who is likely to enjoy the series? The short story (Devil's Harvest) and the short novel (Torchlighters) could be read and enjoyed at any point during the series, but otherwise I recommend the following reading order: Devil's Harvest (Prequel Short Story), Rock Heaven: Book 1, Torchlighters, Tower of Shadows: Book 2, Library of Souls: Book 3, The One Door: Book 4. Reviewers describe the Doormaker series like HIS DARK MATERIALS meets SLIDERS. Also, the Doormaker series has dragons. These dragons don't breathe fire (sorry), and are called Klylups. And there are some seriously dark secrets and history you'll discover about them. Q - Why did you decide to write the Doormaker series? I'm a voracious reader of fantasy and science fiction: Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, Cassandra Clare, Bella Forrest Jeff Wheeler, Sarah J Maas, Rachel E Carter, Philip Pullman, to name a few of my favorites. I wanted to write a story about "The One," but with some major twists. My main character, Maella (May-ella), starts totally unskilled and has been kept in the dark for her entire life about her family history, her magical abilities—everything. There's a very good reason why, but no one will tell her that either! When I kept showing people the short story, they kept asking—actually demanding—to know what happened next. So I wrote how Maella starts so unskilled and innocent to eventually holding the fate of three worlds in her hands. So now there are 6 books in the series (lol). 4 full length novels, 1 short novel, and 1 short story. Q - Thanks for talking with me today. Any last words? Hmmm. This is toughest question of them all, but…To all the readers out there—may light show you the way and darkness show you the stars. Q - Do we have to read the Doormaker series to understand why these are your last words to this interview? Maybe. (Yes).

But when the pattern-machine foretells the death of a torchlighter boy she loves, Junle will do whatever it takes to save him. Even if that means turning the Tower of Shadows into a pile of rubble.   ~~This short novel takes place in the Tower of Shadows, just before Doormaker: Tower of Shadows (Book 2).~~
