“What is it?”
“I cannot tell you. Only Gatekeepers may know.”
My stomach clenched, and I looked around at what I had: a wonderful small home on a large piece of land on New Spero, with a newly-wed wife, and a dog that followed me around everywhere I went. That was the dream. It had always been mine.
“We’ll do it,” a voice from beyond the fire pit’s light said. Mary walked over, her dress traded for something more functional. She had a beer in her hand too, and she clinked the near-empty one I was holding.
“We will? He hasn’t asked us anything.” I wasn’t sure we should be rushing into this, but our path had already been forged.
“I will ask you. Dean and Mary, will you join our ranks as Gatekeepers? My daughter was right about you. You are special.” He looked me in the eyes without breaking the gaze.
My hand found Mary’s, and I gave it a squeeze.
“We’re in.”
The End of New World
The Survivors Book Three
The action continues with The Ancients
“The Theos await you. Only then will we stop the Unwinding.”
The threat of invaders is gone, and Earth has been bartered away as a price for peace.
Yet, the human world of New Spero is thriving and full of hope.
Joining the rank of the Gatekeepers, Dean and Mary set off to explore worlds connected by the mysterious portals.
When they stumble upon a strange symbol, they are led to an ancient object, one that sets them on an unstoppable path.
The journey takes them through multiple worlds, before they can find what they’re searching for. Long ago, the ancient race called the Theos vanished without a trace, and have been next to forgotten for centuries. Do they still exist?
Dean intends to find out, but when he’s faced with the truth, he fears everything he loves will be lost.
