Rights of Passage

Borderland cover Outland cover Shadowland cover

When a group of teenagers discover a Door into another world they set off a chain of events that will change their lives forever.

“[Rights of Passage] could have been a conventional portal fantasy in which children go through into another world and rescue it. Instead, it's a critique of the portal fantasy…I want the next book.”
– Farah Mendlesohn, The Inter-Galactic Playground

This fantasy series for teenagers follows in the footsteps of C.S. Lewis' Narnia and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, as the world-travelling teenagers see societies shattering, explore changing relationships and discover the wheels within wheels of sinister conspiracies.
