The Dromost Gate

Book excerpt: Book Four of The Orb With the Rigarian invasion defeated and the Orb of Creation safely in King Handrin’s hands, there is nothing Ayja would like more than to lead a simple life with her new-found family in Landomere.It is a dream that will have to wait. Far off, beyond the Belenese Empire, a great danger lurks. The Dromost Gate will soon open, unleashing the power of an angry god upon the world. It falls upon Ayja, cousin to King Handrin and bearer of the Godshield, to journey though Belen and into the Summoned Lands in hopes of sealing the gate. With only a few companions and a detachment of Saladoran knights to help her, Ayja will face long odds against vicious enemies and faithless allies. To make matters worse, the entire journey rests on the word of Telea, a demon-possessed Belenese woman who might have a different purpose in mind for Ayja and the Godshield.
