Behind the Door with No Hinges
Book One of The Wand Maker's Son - A spellbinding journey through hidden kingdoms, enchanted objects and dangerous magic.
Part of
The Wand Maker's Son
Nine-year-old Pip Vale lives above a magical repair shop where broken wands remember their owners, old objects hide powerful intentions, and doors do not always lead where they should.
His father, Silas, has given him three important rules:
- Never enter the workshop alone.
- Never touch an unfinished wand.
- Never open the black cabinet with no hinges.
Pip has followed those rules for most of his life. Mostly. Then a frightened girl named Nessa bursts through the forbidden cabinet from Alderwatch, a kingdom where every child has been locked indoors for their own protection. Every door, window and gate is controlled by a powerful royal wand that believes keeping children safe means never allowing them to choose.
Pip crosses the impossible doorway to help rescue Nessa’s younger brother. But Alderwatch is filled with watchmen, living locks and magic that reacts to every frightened thought. To free the kingdom, Pip must challenge a grieving king, survive the memories inside a damaged wand and learn that opening every door can be just as dangerous as closing them all.
Yet the greatest secret is waiting back at Vale Repairs.
