Meet Aiden Thomas: lonely, depressed, overweight and pretty much afraid of his own shadow... the perfect candidate for knighthood in a parallel universe. After being dragged halfway across America away from his only friend to look after his eccentric grandfather, Aiden isnt happy to say the least. But when he discovers three ancient scrolls in the old mans basement and the key to the Door Within, everything changes.

Wayne Thomas Batson has written a fantastical allegoric masterpiece. The writing is a little rough around the edges, but still pretty good for a first time author. The characters are relatable, the action is intense and the allegory is at the perfect level of subtlety. But best of all, The Door Within is just a really, really good story.

The Door Within is everything Christian fantasy should be... and then some.
