The Gatekeeper
About
John lives a solitary life, intentionally removed from the turmoil of politics and the danger of magic, until the day a mysterious, wounded woman collapses on his doorstep, bringing chaos - and an unexpected inheritance - into his isolated world.
Suddenly thrust into the role of a gatekeeper, an important but dangerous position tied to a powerful gem, John is thrown into the center of a complex web of intrigue, magical politics, and deadly threats. As supernatural attacks escalate and shadowy forces close in, John must quickly learn who to trust in a realm where deception rules.
Reluctantly guided by an eccentric cast of allies-including a sarcastic doctor, a headstrong knight, and one loyal horse-John must find a way to survive the maelstrom of politics before dark forces unravel everything he knows and loves.
Blending fantasy, suspense, and sharp wit, The Gatekeeper is a heady tale of one mans reluctant journey from seclusion to heroism, and the secrets that threaten to destroy him along the way.
Will John welcome his destiny, or will the burden of being the gatekeeper destroy him first?
