    “An action packed, adventurous book is The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson. The book is about a boy named Adian who after finding the scrolls is transported to the mythical land of Alleble where he trains to become a brave knight. However, things aren't all as great as they seem. Paragor, the great betrayer, is on the move with his Paragory black knights. To make matters worse, every human has a Glimpse twin. This unfortunately means if one dies the other dies too. Aidan and a group of eleven other knights, including his crush Gwenne, are going to try to protect the neighboring city from the black knights. This thrilling adventure is only the first one in the trilogy. If you read the book, you will feel yourself bonding with characters such as Nock, Bolt, Aidan, Gwenne, and King Eilam the everlasting. I know I enjoyed this book and I hope you do to. Read the book and emerge yourself into the land of knights, dragons, and the seven fountains.”

    “I have certainly read my fair share of fantasy books, but none have captured my imagination and attention so much as Sir Wayne's Door Within Trilogy. Not only was the plot brilliantly-woven and entertaining, it held amazing lessons that even now have effect on my life. I doubt I would so often make the choice to believe if I had not read Mr. Batson's books. Please do yourself a favor and buy these books. They changed my life; dig deep and they can change yours, too.”

    “The Door Within is a fantasy novel geared towards teenagers, but great reading for anyone! It is about a boy named Aiden Thomas who’s just waiting for an adventure to happen. When he is called by King Eliam (a character representing God) to Alleble, he must learn what it takes to be a believer and to remain strong in the most dire circumstances. The book is a fast read, but full of adventure. It is an allegory of Christian Faith, but even if you are not a believer, you will enjoy this book. I’d recommend the Door Within to anyone looking for a great fantasy novel.”
