A lone warrior and a haunted stranger are drawn together by a mission that spans worlds and ages. In Gate of Ivrel, Morgaine returns to a broken land where ancient, deadly gateways tear reality apart and ruthless men vie for power. Tasked with closing the gates before they destroy civilization, she must rely on allies she neither trusts nor fully understands—especially the fierce, reluctant companion who may be her only hope. Tense, spare, and vividly imagined, this tale blends high adventure with a chilling sense of otherness as loyalties shift, secrets surface, and the cost of victory becomes heartbreakingly clear.
