The Door Within trilogy by Thomas Batson
Aidan Thomas is miserable. And it's much more than the strange
nightmares he's been having. Just when life seemed to be coming together
for Aidan, his parents suddenly move the family across the country to
take care of his wheelchair-bound grandfather. When strange events begin
to occur, Aidan is drawn into his grandfather's basement where he
discovers three ancient scrolls and an invitation to another world.
No
longer confined to the realm of his own imagination, Aidan embarks on
an adventure where he joins them in the struggle between good and evil.
With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Aidan faces
Paragory, the eternal enemy. Will Aidan be willing to risk everything
and trust the unseen hand of the one true King? The answer comes from The Door Within.
The Rise of the Wyrm Lord
Separated from his friend by a thousand miles and unable to return to
The Realm of Glimpses himself, Aidan Thomas needs a way to reach Robby
with the message of King Eliam, the one true King.
Enter
Antoinette Lynn Reed, a bright but headstrong young lady who believes in
the Scrolls of Alleble and has a passion for full-contact Kendo. When
Aidan discovers that Antoinette has been called to enter The Realm, he
solicits her help to find Robby's Glimpse before it is too late.
When
she arrives in Alleble, Antoinette finds the kingdom is in turmoil.
Alleble's allies are inexplicably beginning to turn away, renouncing
former ties with King Eliam. And there are rumors that the dark Prince
of Paragory is seeking an ancient evil to crush Alleble once and for
all.
Can Antoinette and a team of Alleble's finest knights learn
the secret of Paragory's growing power? And will they be able to stop the Rise of the Wyrm Lord?
The Final Storm
Still staggering under Paragor's relentless attacks, Alleble's remaining
allies flee from the four corners of The Realm to safety within the
Kingdom's walls. But there is little time for Alleble to mourn before
Paragor, the Wyrm Lord, and the deadly Seven Sleepers unite against the
followers of King Eliam. As Alleble begins to lose hope, Paragor
unleashes The Final Storm. Will anyone survive to see the dawn?

Talk about a gripping series!!!! I could not read them fast enough. While the first book started out a bit slow and vague it picked up very fast and the beginning was a necessity for the story to flow right. My 14 year old daughter read this book, at 12 and has been after me to read it for a couple years! Why I was so slow to pick it up I will never know. It is really a great series and well worth the read. This book is good for boys and girls who are good readers, ages 10 and up. There are some gripping and suspenseful scenes, as well as battle graphics that would not be appropriate for a younger reader.
