#3 The Sea and the Wasteland
The Lost Door
Wade Fisher’s a never-will-be reporter on the verge of the biggest story of his life, a story of people not of this world hunting something that’s eluded them for centuries. And it all starts with one homeless girl, her skin tattooed with the secret pathways behind the universe. What begins as the pursuit of a story becomes a race into madness in the company of a troupe calling themselves the Lost, followers of a self-proclaimed wizard pursuing his archnemesis, a creature he claims killed the gods and is now hiding somewhere in a distant world, a way that can only be reached through a series of magical doorways.Alan Gardner’s life was comfortably circling the drain until a chance encounter with a guerrilla artist with an uncanny magic ability. He quickly finds himself caught up in her scheme to create a doorway into the secret places behind reality, stumbling headlong into a journey with no idea what’s coming and only the vaguest inklings of who or what is chasing him and his enigmatic guide.
