Aurora Award finalist for Best Young Adult Novel

Ariane, Wally, Flish, and Rex Major are on a collision course. Excalibur is about to be reforged. But who’ll get to the final piece first—and what will happen then?

When Wally uncovers the surprising location of the final piece of Excalibur, far closer to hand than they’d ever guessed, it seems all Ariane and Wally have to do is claim it.

But when the pieces of the sword are at last reunited, and the long-closed door into Faerie swings open wide, who—and what—emerges from it may destroy everything and everyone Wally and Ariane have fought so hard to save—and allow Rex Major to snatch victory from the very jaws of defeat.

Fighting side by side, Ariane and Wally must draw on all their strength, courage, magic, and love to save the world…and there’s no guarantee it will be enough.

Door into Faerie is an exciting modern-day young-adult fantasy by award-winning author Edward Willett, perfect for anyone who thrills to stories of modern-day magic and tales of King Arthur.

From Scottish castles to Saskatchewan settlements to the terrifying knights of Faerie, every moment of the final book of the Shards of Excalibur series is filled with adventure.

Praise for Door into Faerie:

“This fifth book is as forged with magic, conflict, action and travel, as well as a little history, as the earlier four books–…but family, which has always been important, becomes paramount. Brothers and sisters Merlin and the Lady of the Lake, and Wally and Felicia, as well as mothers Emily Forsythe and Jessica Knight, drive the story, and ultimately help resolve its plotlines, a monumental task in a fantasy based on the Arthurian legends. Yet Edward Willett accomplishes this easily with his consistent intensity and fluidity of plot progression…” – Helen Kubiw, CanLit for Little Canadians

“Door into Faerie will appeal to young readers in search of adventure as well as adults who enjoy the timeless story of King Arthur. It represents a suitable ending to a story of youthful characters who have wandered the world and suffered several successes and failures in search of their goal. Highly recommended.” – Ronald Hore, CM Magazine

“…I read it without reading its predecessors, and also, admittedly, with a bit of a bias against the fantasy genre. Magic shmagic. I’ve oft said that what I really value in literature is contemporary realism: stories I can connect with via details from the here and now, geography and language I can relate to because I recognize it, I speak it. The old “holding a mirror to the world” thing. Well surprise, surprise: I loved this YA fantasy. Willett wields his well-honed writing chops from page one, and my interest was maintained until the final word…I can’t imagine teens not enjoying this entertaining story, perhaps especially if they’ve read the books that’ve preceded it. This adult enjoyed it, too … magic and all. ” – Shelley A. Leedahl, SaskBooks Reviews
