The Sunken Gate

A forgotten gate lies beneath the ruins. A dangerous legacy is beginning to awaken.

For generations, the Lightbinders have existed only in fading legends-guardians of an ancient power believed to have vanished from the world. But when signs of their magic begin to return, a young heir is drawn into a mystery buried beneath lost kingdoms, forbidden histories, and the ruins of a forgotten age.

At the heart of the secret stands the Sunken Gate.

Long sealed and feared by those who still remember its true purpose, the gate may hold the key to restoring the light-or releasing something that should never have been awakened. As enemies emerge from the shadows and old alliances begin to fracture, loyalty will be tested, hidden truths will surface, and every choice will carry consequences.

To survive, the heir must uncover the truth about the Lightbinders, confront the legacy left behind, and decide whether destiny is something to accept-or something to defy.

The Sunken Gate is the first volume of The Heir of the Lightbinders, an epic young adult fantasy trilogy filled with ancient magic, forgotten ruins, dangerous secrets, friendship, betrayal, and a battle between light and darkness.
