The Legend of the Gate Keeper #5
The Trials of Ashbarn
“Your people?” said Shantis, struggling to contain her anger. “And since when have you become the voice of the people?”
“Since you’ve turned your back on them in favor of a weaker race. Ever since you’ve started chasing this ancient myth—”
“Ancient myth?” Shantis growled softly. Her eyes squinted into yellow slits. She slowly rose from her chair. “How can you possibly still doubt the coming of the Gate Keeper? Did you not see what he is capable of? Were you not there when he—”
“When he what?” she shot back. “Led those black creatures straight to our village? Tried his best to eliminate our people once and for all?”
“How dare you?” Shantis shrieked, finally losing her composure. “We performed the ancient ritual. You were there, damn you! It was—”
“It was never completed,” said Filista flatly. The room fell silent. Pulling herself off the wall, she stood tall and confident. “Not all of us are blinded by the tricks of the humans. That man knew what the outcome would be. He willingly played along, knowing he had already fooled our gullible High Priestess. When it was clear he was about to be revealed as the false god he is, he summoned those demons to interrupt the ritual.”
This book is intended for mature audiences.

Another great read in the series. I have the complete set but think each story should have its own review.
This installment sees numerous changes for Eric, Jade, Jacob and Athel, changes that test limits to nearly breaking point. Eric faces the Trials, Jade must learn to control her powers, Athel...well, no spoilers from me.
There is action, battles, surprises and revelations alongside sacrifices, all set within a fantasy realm, fabulous characters and plot, making this a must read.
How will it all end? I am about to find out.
Highly recommended.
