Overview

The forest swallows her on the third day. Yara enters the woods with blood on her hands and one question burning in her chest: What am I now? She was a midwife's apprentice - trained to stand at the threshold between life and death. Then she killed a man who deserved killing and learned how thin that threshold truly is. She isn't seeking forgiveness. She's seeking Baba Yaga. The witch in the house on chicken legs is meant to be a monster. A trial. A warning. Instead, Yara finds something far more dangerous: a woman who has spent centuries guarding the space between worlds. A keeper of doors. A witness to those who are ready to cross - and those who are not. When Yara asks not to survive the witch, but to stay and learn, she must confront a harder question: If you can open the door both ways... what kind of threshold do you choose to become? The Doorway is a dark reimagining of the Baba Yaga myth - a literary fairy tale about violence, responsibility, and the cost of holding power over life and death. For readers of Naomi Novik, Katherine Arden, and Madeline Miller.

Author Information

N. S. Streets writes dark fairy tales for readers who never stopped believing in the space under the bed. He spent twenty years writing in the quiet hours-the time between midnight and dawn when the stories come alive. Now, at forty, he's keeping a promise to someone he loved: to stop writing in the dark and start sharing the light. He was born and raised in Arizona, where the desert teaches you that beautiful things grow in harsh places and that the most dangerous creatures are often the quietest. After two decades away, he's come home to the Valley of the Sun. He lives in Phoenix with his wife, three children, and a tabby named Bobby Singer who sits on his shoulders while he writes. When he's not drawing lines between worlds, he's cheering for the Cardinals and Suns-a lifelong faith that has taught him everything he needs to know about loyalty, heartbreak, and stubborn hope.
