It's a little bit steampunk, a little bit urban fantasy, and a little bit medieval (there are parallel worlds, after all ). Electricity only works on one world. Strange machines that feed on blood mixed with a special drug foretell possible futures. Oh, and at least two of the worlds have dragons. Doormaker dragons are called Klylups and have some seriously dark secrets and history. If you like fantasy with strange magic, dark secrets, and some steampunk action, check out the Doormaker series today and get ready for a late night This description may be from another edition of this product.
