The Gifted Four Chronicles: The Door That Waited

When the village clock strikes thirteen, Clara knows something is wrong.

No one else hears it. No one else notices the tremor beneath Brackenfold Rise. But Clara and her friends-Theo, Edmund, and Margot-soon discover a hidden door buried beneath the hill.

And behind it?

A secret chamber.
An ancient bell.
And a responsibility far older than they imagined.

If the bell falters, the entire Hollow begins to slip.

Now four children must learn what it truly means to stand steady-together.

The Door That Waited is a thoughtful and suspenseful middle-grade adventure about friendship, courage, and the quiet strength it takes to keep the world balanced.
