Twilight Times Books

Reviewed by Annette Gisby

Long ago, eight souls were granted the gift of becoming Immortal and becoming guardians of the mortal realms. Kryla, who has now become the Gate, on the path to eternal life is relcutant to heed the call to awaken, remembering with terror the last time they did battle with the Nameless One.

The Nameless One is once more abroad, and darkness follows in his wake. Kryla must join once more with a mortal soul, two entities in the one body. The host the gods have chosen for her, Andrea, is already adult, and already poweful in her own right, and it just takes Kryla to help her to use these powers to their full potential.

The time of the final battle draws near and Kryla and Andrea are in more danger than most, for the Nameless one has decided that he wants the Gate as his queen...

An inriguing fantasy, drawing on different faiths and mythology, with strange happenings going on in a very modern setting. Andrea has to deal with her new powers, cope with a house full of foster children, a husband who seems to drain her energy every time he is near, and fight evil at the same time.

The author has weaved a tale with words and nothing in the book seems far-fetched, everything flows very well, the changes between the Immortal world and Mortal one are handled very deftly. The gods have their weaknesses and their fears, as much as the Mortals, even though they have more power.

An engaging tale. Highly recommended.
