Beyond the Gate

Faye Caldwell has never truly lived since the day her sister, Terra, took her own life. Seven years have passed, but the memories haunt her like ghosts that refuse to fade. The nightmares replay the moment Terra plunged to the ground, the impact echoing in Faye's mind like an unrelenting whisper. Fear consumes her. The mere thought of falling-of losing control-sends her spiraling. Every stumble, every misstep grips her with terror. She doesn't know how much more she can endure. But what she doesn't realize is that her fears, her dreams, and the lingering shadows of the past will push her toward a truth that will change her life forever. Kole Frost has always believed his world was ordinary. He has friends-though some are more reliable than others-and a brother who's always had his back. When he gets dragged to Xia, an underground club that mysteriously allows minors, he expects nothing more than a loud, crowded night. He doesn't want to be there, but he goes anyway. His best friend, Terence, drinks too much. It's normal. At least, that's what Kole tells himself. But nothing about that night is normal. Because that night, their paths collide. At the heart of their world stands the Gate-a legendary structure said to protect them from something lurking beyond its borders. A monstrous force. A truth no one dares to question. The Gate has always been a myth, something whispered about in hushed voices, something unseen by all. Until now. For the first time, Faye and Kole see the Gate with their own eyes. And once they do, their world will never be the same. The more they dig, the more they uncover the dark secrets of Cesve-secrets that have been buried for generations. But some truths are meant to stay hidden. Some boundaries are never meant to be crossed. Because the Gate isn't just a barrier-it's a warning. And now, it's been broken. A thrilling blend of mystery, fantasy, and psychological suspense, this novel will pull you into a world where fear is real, secrets are deadly, and the truth is more dangerous than anyone imagined.
