Book One of the World of Esmorde series introduces us to David Flynn, an insignificant only child with dark blonde hair and a smattering of freckles across his nose. David hates being small. He hates being shy. And when his parents take him to stay with his loopy Grandma out in the middle of nowhere, he hates being David…
But things at Grandma’s might not be as dull as they seem. Following a mischevious rainbow lorikeet deep into the bush, David finds a magical glowing Doorway, and suddenly his life-long wish for adventure becomes more real than he could have hoped.
As soon as David steps through the ancient Door it falls to pieces, and he finds himself trapped in Esmorde - a world of magic, warriors and mythical beings. Accused of being a spy for the dragon sorcerer Aurasius, he’s saved by a mysterious stranger who convinces Esmorde’s rulers David is from the ‘otherworld’, the land beyond the Doorway. His name cleared, David then learns of Aurasius’ terrible legacy, the Curse to End the World, that will eventually turn every living thing in Esmorde to dust.
The rulers of Esmorde reveal the Curse can only be broken by someone from David’s own world. Scorning his small size, they don’t believe he can break the Curse himself, and instead send him on a perilous journey to the other side of Esmorde to the only remaining Door. His mission: to return home and bring back an adult to save Esmorde. Joined by Tahn the Dragonslayer, a silent barbarian, Jeeka, half-elf and apprentice to the ruler of Esmorde, and Scud, a scruffy peasant with a three-metre long tail, David takes on trial after trial to reach the Second Door before it’s too late…
But will he make it home in time?
And even if he does, will anyone believe him?
