The Book of Doors: A Novel

Cassie Andrews lives an ordinary life in a New York City bookshop, surrounded by books and the quiet chatter of customers. Her days blend together in a comfortable routine: shelving books, making coffee, and perhaps sharing a brief conversation with one of the regulars. One day, a lone customer, a charismatic old man, dies in front of her, leaving behind only the book he was reading. This book, a mysterious tome called the Book of Doors, holds secrets and promises that threaten to upend Cassie's life.

The Book of Doors is a story that has captivated readers for centuries, promising to reveal the hidden doors of possibility. Its enigmatic words and drawings promise that any door is every door, but only if one knows how to open it. For Cassie, the book is more than just a curiosity – it's a way to hold onto memories of the old man, who had a way of weaving tales that brought people together. But she soon discovers that she's not alone in her interest. A gaunt stranger, Drummond Fox, a librarian with a mysterious past, appears, warning her that the Book of Doors is not just any book, but a powerful artifact that is coveted by those who collect rare volumes. Drummond knows of a secret library, hidden away, where such books are kept, and Cassie's Book of Doors is the key to unlocking its secrets.

As Cassie becomes embroiled in a world of magic, adventure, and romance, she is forced to confront the dark forces that seek to claim the Book of Doors, and the other rare volumes, for themselves. Driven by a desire to protect the book and its secrets, Cassie joins forces with Drummond, despite the danger that surrounds her.
