英文简介:
A debut novel full of magic, adventure, and romance, The Book of Doors opens up a thrilling world of contemporary fantasy for readers of The Midnight Library, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, The Night Circus, and any modern story that mixes the wonder of the unknown with just a tinge of darkness.
Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookshop, shelving books, making coffee for customers, and living an unassuming, ordinary life.
Until the day one of her favorite customers–a lonely yet charming old man–dies right in front of her.
Cassie is devastated.
She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by.
Nothing but the last book he was reading.
But this is no ordinary book.
.
.
It is the Book of Doors.
Inscribed with enigmatic words and mysterious drawings, it promises Cassie that any door is every door.
You just need to know how to open them.
Then she’s approached by a gaunt stranger in a rumpled black suit with a Scottish brogue who calls himself Drummond Fox.
He’s a librarian who keeps watch over a unique set of rare volumes.
The tome now in Cassie’s possession is not the only book with great power, but it is the one most coveted by those who collect them.
Now Cassie is being hunted by those few who know of the Special Books.
With only her roommate Izzy to confide in, she has to decide if she will help the mysterious and haunted Drummond protect the Book of Doors–and the other books in his secret library’s care–from those who will do evil.
Because only Drummond knows where the unique library is and only Cassie’s book can get them there.
But there are those willing to kill to obtain those secrets.
And a dark force–in the form of a shadowy, sadistic woman–is at the very top of that list.
中文简介:
《门之书》是一部充满魔幻、冒险和浪漫的处女作,为《午夜图书馆》、《艾迪·拉鲁的隐形生活》、《夜间马戏团》以及任何融合了奇观的现代故事的读者打开了一个惊心动魄的当代奇幻世界。
只带着一丝黑暗的未知。
卡西·安德鲁斯在纽约市的一家书店工作,摆书架,为顾客泡咖啡,过着低调、平凡的生活。
直到有一天,她最喜欢的一位顾客——一位孤独而迷人的老人——死在了她的面前。
卡西崩溃了。
她一直很喜欢他的故事,但现在她没有什么可以记住他的了。
除了他正在读的最后一本书之外什么也没有。
但这不是一本普通的书……它是《门之书》。
上面刻有神秘的文字和神秘的图画,它向卡西保证,任何门都是每扇门。
您只需要知道如何打开它们。
然后,一个瘦削的陌生人走近她,他穿着皱巴巴的黑色西装,操着苏格兰布洛克语,自称德拉蒙德·福克斯。
他是一名图书管理员,负责保管一套独特的珍本书籍。
卡西现在拥有的这本书并不是唯一一本具有强大力量的书,但却是收藏者最垂涎的一本。
现在卡西正被那些少数了解特殊书籍的人追捕。
只有她的室友伊兹可以倾诉,她必须决定是否要帮助神秘而闹鬼的德拉蒙德保护《门之书》以及他秘密图书馆中保管的其他书籍,使其免受邪恶之徒的侵害。
因为只有德拉蒙德知道独特的图书馆在哪里,也只有卡西的书才能让他们到达那里。
但也有人愿意为了获得这些秘密而杀人。
而一种黑暗力量——以一个阴暗、虐待狂的女人的形式出现——位居这份名单的首位。
