Three worlds are falling apart... but making portals is forbidden. Can an untrained Doormaker save her family, and Earth, in time?
THREE WORLDS. ONE RULE. SHE MUST NEVER OPEN A DOOR.
Since before Maella can remember, one family rule has shaped her never open a door. Maella comes from a family of doormakers—people who unleash otherworldly violence when they open something even as simple as a cabinet door. But when Maella is forced to open a portal she discovers worlds of nightmarish flying monsters, mystical drug deals, political prisoners, religious cults, and a terrifying Maella will die upon opening her seventh door. In order to survive, Maella must uncover her family’s secrets, all while hiding her identity and outrunning the prediction of her death. But what do you do when the truth you need could destroy the universe?

I'm a voracious reader in many genres. I do sometimes judge a book by its cover art. Life is too short to spend time reading or reviewing bad books so you'll see my library, ratings, and reviews represent books I believe are worth sharing.
I live in Northern California with my husband, two dogs, a garden, lots of chickens, a viola, and a bicycle. My anthropology degree shapes my fiction. I write dark adventures (science fiction, fantasy, post-apocalyptic, coming-of-age) with a hint of romance. Follow me at JamieThornton.com
At first, as with any new fantasy, it’s difficult to understand the different characters and worlds within. As the books progress, and you learn little snippets and clues along with the main characters you become hooked on the tale. Suffering, courage, friendship, family, betrayal, love, trust, life, death, survival are just a few ways to describe this story. At times, it was unputdownable. Open hearts. Open minds. Close doors.
