Ren Monroe has spent years clawing her way to the top at Balmerick University, where power is currency and survival is a solo act. But none of her hard-earned skill prepares her for what happens when a teleportation spell goes catastrophically wrong.
Stranded in a deadly wilderness with five other wizards—including Theo Brood, privileged, arrogant, and infuriating—they face a harsh reality: one of them is already dead.
With magic running thin and danger stalking them through the woods, alliances shift and secrets unravel. Every choice cuts deeper, and not everyone plans to make it out alive.
Scott Reintgen’s A Door in the Dark blends dark academia with a pulse-pounding survival thriller, where ambition and fear collide beneath the forest’s unforgiving canopy.
