The legendary Colossi have awakened. The queen seeks peace. Someone intends to make certain neither survives. As Gatekeeper, Jora Lanseri possesses powers no one has wielded for centuries. With the Mindstream and a growing host of extraordinary allies at her command, she embarks on an unprecedented mission to negotiate peace between kingdoms that have known only war for generations. Yet every nation hides dangerous secrets. Every ruler has something to lose. And someone is willing to unleash forgotten horrors rather than allow the fighting to end. The deeper Jora digs into the world's buried history, the more she realizes the greatest threat isn't the war itself-but the truth behind why it began. Some legacies deserve to remain forgotten. Others refuse to stay buried.
