Publisher Synopsis

Some people are born for the Doors…

On a Friday evening, at the height of summer, Lin Qiushi opens the door to his apartment—and finds himself in a snow-covered forest in the dead of winter. Now, if he wants to return home, he and a dozen strangers must unravel the mystery of a remote village, find the key… and escape the clutches of death, because the worlds beyond the Doors are anything but safe. What’s more, who can say whether the beautiful, long-legged girl beside Lin Qiushi will prove to be a blessing or a curse?

And yet the Doors are not a punishment, but a reward. Those lucky and cunning enough to survive the wrath of horrible creatures receive the most precious prize of all: days, months, even years of life in the real world. For the twelve Doors appear at their appointed hour only to those with one foot already in the grave. Make it through all twelve, and you’ll be given a chance at a new life. But if you fail…

Well, if Lin Qiushi can’t adapt to the rules of this brutal game, he’ll soon discover what happens to those who aren’t destined to make it back out the Door.
