The Door Ajar

Book 2 of the Doorway to Magic Trilogy.

A man without magic must face the worst magical threat his kingdom has ever known.

Montaine Kirring’s work is pushing his endurance to the limit. Charged with governing the realm in the queen’s absence, he must balance his existing duties as the kingdom’s chief enforcer with his new royal responsibilities. But when one of his investigators disappears in a strange magical accident, his obligations turn from hectic to deadly.

Montaine’s efforts to learn what happened to the missing man entangle him in a web of unanswered questions. Is the half-human apprentice Fabren Lacalian the unwitting disseminator of an ancient curse that warps human wizardry? Who are the Ajarant and why is archivist Daraline Graciel so enamored with them? What is the reason behind the string of kidnappings in the capital city? Beneath all these mysteries lurks a hidden danger poised to distort the use of magic and conquer the kingdom.

With no magical abilities of his own, how can Montaine uncover the truth before the twisted wizardry overtakes the realm?

Montaine, Fabren, and Daraline are back in The Door Ajar, the thrilling sequel to The Keyhole Wizard. If you enjoy high fantasy with interwoven plotlines and a unique system of magic, you will love the second book in the Doorway to Magic trilogy.
