The Doorway God — Tom Early

Sequel to Aspect of Winter Fay and Sam search for solutions at the magical Janus University, but will their quest uncover more questions than answers? With summer's end, Fay and Sam prepare to take the places they've earned at the school. There, Fay seeks to rid himself of the cruel and murderous spirit of Winter that possesses him, and Sam hopes to learn more about her deceased mother and her mother's role on the mystical world, Gaia. As Fay's dreams of four shadowy figures―the Seasons―increase in intensity, he realizes the school's headmaster, Didas, might not have his best interests at heart. Didas wants to turn Fay into his personal weapon, and Fay's only hope might be to merge with the ancient spirit. Since Fay's boyfriend and familiar Tyler cannot be with him as often as he'd like, Sam tries to support Fay, but the secrets she uncovers about her mother mean her quest is only beginning.
