Every Heart a Doorway (Wayward Children, #1)

by Seanan McGuire

if you open the right door at the right time, you might finally find a place where you belong. Why does that mean I can’t go back?

We depend upon the silence of women.”

You are the guardians of the secrets of the universe, beloved of worlds that most will never dream of, much less see

You’re nobody’s rainbow. You’re nobody’s princess. You’re nobody’s doorway but your own, and the only one who gets to tell you how your story ends is you.
