The Black Gate
In the eternal realms of Celestia and Umbra, beyond the human veil, the immortal beings of light and darkness clash in The Black Gate, the gripping first book of The Parable Saga Series.
In this place where time drifts like mist on an endless sea, King Absolan of Celestia, the City of Light, governs with wisdom and benevolence, while the Shadow King Keres of Umbra rules with ruthless ambition behind an impenetrable barrier of dark madjik.
As the forces of light battle the encroaching shadows, the outcome of their struggle depends on a lost book and a secret buried in Terra, a human realm defying Keres’s cruel games and ambitions of complete dominion. Mortals sense a greater conflict beyond theirconsciousness but remain unaware of their role in the cosmic battle for their souls and immortality.
The revelation of an ancient secret disrupts the uneasy peace between Absolan and Keres, plunging the realms into chaos. Amidst epic battles and emerging truths, a single man, burdened with unknowable power, must confront his destiny and make a choice that will determine the fate of the worlds.
The Black Gate introduces unforgettable characters and weaves an epic tale of battles, secrets, and the ultimate struggle between light and darkness.
