Hello Books lover
Rye lives in a walled city called Weld, on the island of Dorne, with his family. They know very little of what is outside the Wall; only that it is a dangerous world from which they are wise to shelter. However, for several years their city has been besieged in summer by skimmers: savage, bat-like creatures that fly in hordes over the Wall from somewhere outside Weld, looking for human and animal prey. The Warden of Weld offers a large reward to any young man who can find and defeat the Enemy sending the skimmers. Rye is not old enough to volunteer. Little does he know that a very strange series of events will force his hand? He will have to lie about his age, and choose one of Weld’s three secret magic doors to go through. He will have to put up with a companion he didn’t bargain for. He will be flung into a fantastic and dangerous adventure in the quest. And he will learn that nothing he has believed, about his world, or about himself, is the truth.
The themes of The Golden Door include quest, journey, friendship, trust, family ties and self-confidence. This book is all about the ideas that our choices lead us along different paths in life. After all many old legends and fairy tales are based on the theme of choice.
