Ivrel's Gate

THE SILVER-HAIRED MORGAINE HAS A SINGLE TASK. TO CLOSE THE GATES AND DESTROY THEIR POWER…

The gates of a long-dead civilisation connect hundreds of worlds. The mysterious Morgaine travels between them with a single goal: to destroy them before they cause the very destruction of time and space.

Vanye is an honourable man, but also a fratricide and an outcast. Besides certain death, his only remaining hope is that one of the lords will choose him for their service as an ilin, a warrior bound by absolute obedience.

When he encounters Morgaine, he immediately understands that the once-worshipped but now cursed legend has returned after a hundred years. He realises too late that this beautiful and dangerous woman still has the right to become his il'y'ó – the lady to whom he must completely devote himself.

Pleading is of no use. Morgaine is as merciless as the legends about her claim, and she needs Vanye and his sword. She has no other choice, because the Gate of Ivrel must be destroyed…
