House of Many Doors

by Annabel Chase

Genres: Contemporary Fantasy; Urban Fantasy; Paranormal Cozy Mysteries

Synopsis

When a strange illness sweeps through a quiet island kingdom, the unaffected are sent to shelter inside Concord Palace, but the palace is far from the glorious refuge it once was. The halls are crumbling, the gardens are wild, and the only full-time residents are a charmingly grumpy librarian and a shadowy stranger who appears and disappears like a ghost.

Paloma doesn't intend to stay long—she's used to moving on before anyone gets too close—but once she discovers the Doors, her plans change.

The Doors are unlike any magic she's ever seen. They open into odd rooms, forgotten memories, and places that couldn't possibly exist. Trapped with a crew of fellow misfits—a pirate with a heavy heart, a dark wizard who may or may not have sinister intentions, and others just as prickly and peculiar as she is—Paloma must navigate both the magical pathways and the fragile bonds forming between the reluctant residents.

As friendships grow and secrets unravel, Paloma begins to question her long-held beliefs: maybe home is more than a place to hang your cloak. Maybe it's one you build—together.

Cozy up with House of Many Doors, a warm and whimsical magical fantasy about found family and the healing power of staying still long enough to belong.
