Doors
The fights always started the same way; a sudden chill, a soft rumbling and then an explosion like a late-summer thunderstorm. They were at it again.
Twelve-year-old Ria tried to ignore them as well as she could, as she always tried to, concentrating instead on the book in front of her and the music coming through her earphones. The little joys and good memories that Ria’s happiness were built on wavered, relegated to the remnants of a dream in the face of such incomprehensible anger. Ria knew there was something terribly wrong, but she had no idea what to do about it.
Deep, deep down in the place Ria only visited in dreams, she knew that if she could only find some way to pull everything together and put it back where it belonged, things would be right again. Maybe they would stop fighting about what they always ended up fighting about, even if it wasn’t what they’d started fighting about. Namely, Ria.
First Magyc Description:
The Path is fading, and the music of Life is vanishing. Cedar and his fellow Guardians have been entrusted for centuries to protect the Path, the very force of Life itself. An accident traps Cedar between his home and another world devoid of magyc–but not of music. He is found by Ria, a mysterious girl who holds the key to returning him home.
With little choice Cedar uses First Magyc, Blood Magyc, to save himself, and finds himself the unlikely caretaker of the very girl who might fulfill an ancient Prophecy and restore the Guardians to their former station as honored heroes. Unwittingly lured into Demona, a world of magyc and music, Ria struggles to understand her own growing abilities even as she is drawn into an ages old conflict between Human and Demon. But sometimes, the difference between the two isn’t so easy to see.
