Rye has lived his whole life behind Weld’s great walls, which do little to keep its people safe from flying monster attacks. When a call is made for heroes to venture beyond the walls and put a stop to the attacks, Rye’s two brothers put their hands up for the dangerous task. But when they fail to return, Rye must journey into a world of blood-thirsty monsters and savage barbarians to bring them back. Nobody writes a quest book quite like Emily Rodda, as fans of her Deltora Quest and Rowan of Rin series will attest. This first book in her new Three Doors trilogy is an exciting blend of fantasy and adventure, perfect for readers aged eight and up. Yet again, Rodda has created a world of mystery and magic that readers will want to lose themselves in; one that will have them eagerly awaiting a sequel.
