Three 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.

Three Doors series.
Skimmers, nocturnal flying predators, continue to attack the walled city of Weld (The Golden Door; The Silver Door). Rye, his companion Sophie, and his brothers Dirk and Sholto go through the third door in search of a way to defeat the skimmers and bring peace. In this triumphant trilogy-ender, Rodda plays with the concepts of time, perception, and "the enemy."
