Synopsis

Henry’s final battle has arrived in the third book of the bestselling 100 Cupboard series, about 100 cupboard doors leading to 100 worlds of adventure!
 
Hidden cupboards behind Henry’s bedroom wall unlocked portals to other worlds that Henry and his cousin Henrietta couldn’t resist exploring. But they made one terrible mistake— they released the undying witch Nimiane. Her goal? To drain all life from every world connected to the cupboards. Henry must seek out the Chestnut King to defeat her, but doing so comes at a price—one that will force Henry to make a terrible, irreversible choice. With the fate of the worlds and everyone Henry loves hanging in the balance, will he have the courage to do what is needed to destroy the witch once and for all?
 
Want to know where the cupboards came from? Don’t miss the latest book in the series, The Door Before!
 
Praise for the 100 Cupboards series:
“A must-read series!” —The Washington Post
 
“This is my favorite kind of fantasy.” —Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Goodreads review by Hope on September 27, 2022

Great ending to a great series. While I don't always enjoy omniscient voice as much as 3rd person, N. D. Wilson does it well. He also does a great job of crafting realistic characters, abilities, and accomplishments that work with their age yet deal in high stakes.......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on February 16, 2019

Being a new series is hard work. Readers finish the first installment, eager to jump into the next, but it doesn't release for another twelve months and memory dims. Interest fades.
