Bookroo's summary

Henry's discovery of magical cupboards leads to a grave mistake: releasing the witch Nimiane, who seeks to drain life from connected worlds. To stop her, Henry must find the elusive Chestnut King. But the path to saving everyone he loves demands a heart-wrenching decision. Can he muster the courage to face the ultimate sacrifice and defeat the witch? As the fate of multiple worlds hangs in the balance, Henry's journey becomes a race against time, filled with danger and the weight of an irreversible choice. Will he succeed, or will darkness prevail?

From the publisher

The bestselling and highly acclaimed 100 Cupboards series concludes with one final, epic battle in The Chestnut King. Perfect for readers who love Percy Jackson, the Unwanteds, and Beyonders! 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 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? “A must-read series.” –The Washington Post
