4-6Three Doors series.
Rye (The Golden Door) finds himself in the Scour, a wasteland under the thumb of a powerful sorcerer/scientist. Rye faces challenges in learning how to use his powers and overcome deference to his older brothers. With unique threats to survival, family and community bonds as reasons to fight on, and imaginative solutions, the book is enjoyable fantasy fare.
