The Door to Inferna

In The Door to Inferna, Khioneus Nevula embarks on an adventure to save the mystical world of Elkloria, discovering his true identity along the way.

In The Door to Inferna, teenager Khioneus Nevula discovers that his unusual dreams and visions are urgent calls for help from the mystical parallel world of Elkloria. This enchanting realm is inhabited by beings who depend on Khioneus's unique abilities to survive. During what should have been a carefree winter break with friends, Khioneus finds himself on an unexpected journey of self-discovery and adventure.

Adopted and marked by his striking purple eyes, Khioneus has always felt different. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of Elkloria, he begins to uncover his true identity and the destiny that awaits him. He learns that he must open the door to Inferna to rescue the inhabitants of this magical land. Along the way, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, including his twin sister, a skilled mage, a quirky scientist, and a determined princess, all of whom join him in his quest.

The Door to Inferna, Rishab Borah’s debut novel, presents a richly crafted fantasy world that rivals the creations of renowned authors like Rick Riordan and Tamora Pierce. Drawing from Borah’s fascination with mythology, science, and linguistics, this middle-grade tale invites readers aged 11-16 to explore the imaginative landscapes that he and his friends once dreamed up in their childhood play.
