This is a prequel to Legends from The Warlock's Chair - Ravengaard. The Warlock's Chair. A place of magic and adventure. Long ago when the world was young the Faerie races ruled far and wide across the lands of the Earth. Then with the coming of Man, they disappeared into myth and legend. But they had survived, hidden away in the secret places known only to a very few humans. Eighteenth century England. The Harcourt family leave the clamour and filth of London for the peace and quiet of rural Shropshire. But for those who live at Ravengaard Manor life has never been peaceful or quiet. Soon the three Harcourt children find their lives changed forever by the magical lands that surround the hills of The Warlock's Chair. This is their first adventure.

The Door by ShaunAllan

The door wasn't there that morning. But now it was. And Steven couldn't help but step through. So why is he at the hotel, and why does that man look and sound so much like him? And why does the touch of another suddenly make him want to vomit? - This story originally appeared in the fantastic Sun Kissed Fantasy anthology, hosted by the genuinely wonderful @RebeccaSky! Check out the other amazing stories here: https://www.wattpad.com/289805056-sun-kissed-a-fantasy-anthology-the-door-by-shaun It's actually based in the One King West Hotel in Toronto, where I stayed when visiting Wattpad HQ and the walk Steven takes is the walk to the HQ offices. It was while having breakfast just as Steven does in this story that I came up with the idea.
