The Door Behind the Bookshelves is an epic dark sci-fi/fantasy saga set in the mysterious world of Xaam, a realm of mutants, cosmic forces, and broken legacies. The story follows Chloe Simons, a teenage girl abandoned on Earth by her father, Tohm-a once-powerful dark emperor of Xaam-after he falls in love with a human woman. Unaware of her heritage, Chloe discovers a strange scarlet stone that transports her to Xaam, awakening destructive solar powers within her.
There, she joins THE PARAGONS, a group of gifted mutants seeking to survive and reclaim control of their world. Together, they fight formidable villains, uncover the secrets of Hela's shattered heart fragments, and confront betrayals that shake their trust in one another. As Chloe uncovers hidden family connections-including the shocking revelation that her biological mother is Haumea-she is forced to navigate a landscape of war, cosmic threats, and moral ambiguity.
The saga culminates in a cataclysmic final war, where the fragments of Hela's heart are reassembled. Though light is seemingly restored to Xaam, Chloe is betrayed and trapped in the Purloin Realm, a dimension where Hela consolidates power by stealing mutant abilities, revealing that the true enemy has always been closer than anyone suspected.
TDBTB is a story of loss, power, legacy, and the fight for identity, combining high-stakes action, tragic heroism, and a richly imagined universe where the line between good and evil is constantly blurred.
