The Blue Door Charlie Pulsipher

Open the door. We're off to see the genocidal wizard. After fires kill thousands all over the world in an instant, the few survivors are left with a symbol scorched into their lives and more questions than answers. Nick falls into the system. Cindy moves in with her godmother. They try move on, to forget. But then water begins stalking Nick around high school, awakens latent synesthesia, and applies scents to the colors of a magic he didn't know he had. Cindy, a weaver of fire, knows more, but not enough to prepare them for the appearance of a living portal. They will cross this threshold to find answers to their parents' murder, what their gifts mean, and what plans a magical serial killer has for the world. With the help of a feisty sylph and a sentient door, they just might make it, but only if they can survive the angry nixies, bloodthirsty redcaps, bone-crushing trow, and the friendship of a fairy queen who may not want them to succeed.
