Something otherworldly is calling. Something powerful. And it’s not just after William—it’s already a part of him.
In the heart of North London, seventeen-year-old William Court thinks he knows who he is, where he’s going, and how the summer will unfold. But when the boundaries between worlds start to crack, and visions of fire and shadow bleed into his reality, everything changes—fast.
Throne of Skulls is the foreboding prologue to The Portal Garden Chronicles, a sweeping portal fantasy where a hidden world lies just beyond reach—and where the most impossible journeys begin in the most ordinary places.
Journey with William as he battles with something unknown and foresees a greater darkness rising—one that could tear worlds apart and bring about the end of everything.
If you love The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Lord of the Rings, or A Wizard of Earthsea, this gripping modern portal fantasy will feel like coming home—just with more blood, more magic, and a portal you really shouldn’t enter.

Seventeen-year-old William Court’s life is falling apart—his family’s split, he’s been uprooted from London to the windswept wilds of Yorkshire, and the visions that haunted his summer are back with a vengeance. But when a blood-soaked stranger in medieval armour appears in the window of the sinister house next door—pleading for William’s help—the line between hallucination and destiny shatters.
Pulled into a mystery that stretches across worlds, William must face ancient symbols, impossible artefacts, and a destiny that’s been hunting him since childhood. Some doors should never be opened… but this one is calling his name.
He thought he was losing his mind. The truth is worse.
