Door Lock
Eadric Prerrymane and his family have been welcomed into the village of Mozdeville – a sanctuary from the looming Viking threat to the North. Mozdeville has not been invaded for quite some time and the people of the village seem very friendly, especially Emie Zinnethush. Eadric is captivated by Emie, but also distraught over the death of his younger sister, Sarah. With Emie, he does find some degree of comfort. However, the mysterious young woman holds secrets that Eadric is just beginning to uncover.
Emie performs dark rituals to summon demonic entities that protect Mozdeville and its inhabitants. The beautiful witch has no qualms about sacrificing Viking blood if it means defending her homeland and if she must delve into the macabre and enlist the aid of grotesque monstrosities to combat the aggressive invaders from the north then so be it. Eadric's hatred for the Viking warriors runs much deeper than Emie's. She uses this emotional rage to guide Eadric to open a doorway to the most terrifying place in all existence - a place devoid of light, love, or hope. Eadric is hesitant to take up the dark grimoires and summon powerful creatures to defend his friends and family members, but with the Viking invasions becoming more ferocious and the defenders of Mozdeville dwindling in numbers, does he have much of a choice? He will soon learn, however, that there are worse things in Mozdeville than the irresistible practitioner of witchcraft, Emie Zinnethush ... much worse.

A chilling and thought-provoking read
I just finished a gripping book set in an alternate 1300s England, where Mozdeville offers sanctuary to refugees. Eadric, a villager, meets Emie, a woman with dark powers used for good, challenging his understanding of right and wrong. Led by a strong female protagonist, the story delves into themes of power and moral ambiguity, making it a chilling and thought-provoking read.
