Behind the Door with No Hinges

Pip has grown up surrounded by rules:

Never enter the workshop alone.
Never touch an unfinished wand.
Never open the black cabinet with no hinges.

But Pip has a secret gift. He can hear the hidden intentions inside magical objects. A frightened gate remembers a child once left outside. A damaged wand believes holding someone still is the same as healing them. And from behind the forbidden cabinet, a mysterious voice keeps calling Pip by another name.

Piper.

When Nessa escapes from Alderwatch, a kingdom where every child has been locked indoors for their own protection, Pip crosses the forbidden threshold to help rescue her younger brother. Inside Alderwatch, a powerful royal wand controls every door, window and gate. It was created to keep children safe, but its fear has transformed protection into imprisonment.

With courageous Nessa beside him, truth-sensing Miri trying to guide him and Silas and Arthur racing to reach him, Pip must challenge a grieving king, survive a collapsing web of magic and discover that freedom cannot be forced upon others any more than safety can.

Yet Alderwatch is only the beginning.

Piper’s forgotten memories feel strangely like Pip’s own. Elara’s secret journal reveals that Pip’s life began with an impossible choice, while an ancient forest beyond the doors has started listening for both of his names.

The forest has heard him.
Now it wants him back.

Behind the Door with No Hinges is the first book in The Wand Maker’s Son, an exciting fantasy adventure filled with magical wands, enchanted objects, hidden kingdoms, mysterious doors, unusual friendships and secrets that refuse to remain buried.
