Shadows of the Gate
Narrated Fantasy Mystery Series
The Gate keeps the monsters out. Inside it, the town of Humedell carries on — the shops, the festival, the gossip — as if the monstrous wilds beyond don’t exist. Namier likes it that way. She’s built a good life here: a husband who adores her, three children, a trade. No one knows who she once was — a prodigy whose brilliance helped forge the very barriers that keep them all alive. That’s behind her now.
But when a neighbor is found dead and the town can’t agree on why, Namier notices something she can’t set aside — nor voice without unraveling everything she’s hidden. What unfolds brings someone from her old life into the sanctuary of her home town — and they know exactly who she is.
Unable to escape, the investigation pulls her deeper, and every step costs her something she can’t afford to lose — her husband’s trust, her dearest friendship, her standing in a community that watches as closely as it cares.
To find the truth, Namier may have to become the woman she left behind. She isn’t sure that woman and the life she’s built can both survive.
