What's it about?
Kate's family travels to dimensions using doors only they can see. But the key to saving those hidden worlds and her missing aunt lies in a childhood summer she can't remember and a power she didn't know she had. Against her mother's wishes, Kate returns to her aunt's house, drawn by an inexplicable pull. As memories of a forgotten magical childhood resurface, she discovers her aunt's hidden journal, revealing a family legacy of dimensional travel. When a powerful creature threatens Kate, she realizes her aunt may be alive, held captive for information that could end all worlds. Now, Kate must uncover her own ability to see the doors and embark on a journey to save her aunt and protect multiple dimensions.
The Door to Trilesk is a character-driven modern fantasy with elements of portal fantasy and low magic.
Set in a world where dimensional travel is possible, The Door to Trilesk blends contemporary settings with hidden magical realms.
What's in this episode:
