Welcome to a new world
For readers, teachers and students, this page will give you a spoiler-free introduction to THE DOOR TO THE LOST. It focuses on the world of Talhaven and its inspiration, as well as questions to think about while reading.
To me, there is nothing more tantalizing than a door.
Close your eyes and think for a moment about how many doors you open and shut in your life every day. Picture the sizes, shapes, and colors. There are so many, we often take them for granted. The door to our school. The door to shops and restaurants.
The door to home.
But what if you were suddenly cut off from the place that was most important to you? The place you felt safe and loved? What if you discovered you could never open the door to that place again?
These were the things on my mind when I first opened the door to Talhaven in my imagination.

Talhaven is a world that once had plentiful magic, but that magic is dying, and it has become dangerous. The people of Talhaven now regard anyone who wields magic as dangerous too.
Nowhere is this more true than in the city of Regara, where the story of Rook, Drift, and Fox takes place.

Rook has the power to make doors with her magic. Doors that will take her and friends anywhere—except the one place they most want to go.
Home.
What would you do if you had Rook’s power? If you could create a door for yourself, what would it look like? Where would it take you?
I hope that you enjoy your journey through the world of Talhaven.
