Doryto and the Door of Wanderers
Urban fantasy · Out now · Audiobook too
Lost keys, runaway dogs, missing objects — if someone truly wants it found, Doryto knows exactly where it is. In Birmingham, Alabama, his unusual gift keeps him fed, mostly housed, and just on the edge of trouble.
But when a mysterious woman appears with a fortune in cash and an impossible request — to find a man who exists across dimensions — Doryto’s simple rules for finding things begin to unravel. Strange smells linger in the air, dogs bark at things no one else can see, and shadowy creatures hunt travelers who slip between realities.
Pulled into a hidden multiverse shaped by Celtic magic, ancient bloodlines, and alternate versions of himself, Doryto discovers that finding objects is easy — finding himself may cost everything. As dimensions collide and dangerous forces close in, he must decide whether his gift is a blessing… or a trap.
Witty, gritty, and wildly imaginative, Doryto and the Door of Wanderers blends urban fantasy, mystery, and heart into a fast-paced story about identity, belonging, and what happens when the thing you’re searching for is you. A place where sasquatch are real and dogs are spiritual beings.
Praise
“Only an author like Sheila Ray Montgomery can craft something so fantastical, yet believable and all-engrossing, that readers fall entirely headfirst into it.”
“It’s like the TV show Sliders and DCC with some generational trauma, but in the best way!”
