Disguised in Shadow: The Gateway Series Book 2

By M. L. Wells and M.L. Wells

In M. L. Wells' second book in The Gateway Series, Cynthia (Cindy) Harris is working to fit in to a world and a life she could not possibly have imagined. Her mother, Capriana, is not only from this ancient unique world of Talamh, but she is also the leader. Talamh's people live with a profound purpose: to promote and maintain peace in the worlds connected through the Gateway. This task is done most often in secret. Up until the death of Capriana's father, Talamh lived in peace and had no known enemies. That is no longer the case. Talamh is engaged in a war for its very survival. Fulfilling the destiny given to this realm is now more difficult than ever before. Cindy feels the pressure of being part of the ruling family and strives to find her place in the destiny of Talamh. However, coming to Talamh and making a new life in this strange world is proving more difficult than she realized. In fact, not only is she still coming to grips with the fact that her entire childhood has been based on a lie, she is also faced with confusing relationships as well as life-threatening forces.Living and training at Ceithrenn, the academy for warriors and diplomats, forces her to set her pride aside and admit that she is facing an incredibly steep learning curve. Morgan, her personal bodyguard, is proving to be something of an enigma to her. Though there is an occasional flicker of warmth, he generally takes on the role of a silent sentry. She finds his constant presence both annoying and comforting, a mixture of feelings she has yet to unravel. As if the transition isn't difficult enough, the insurgence of hostile creatures from a different world continue to rain down horror. Entire villages are being slaughtered and those victims who are not killed in the attacks, are being stolen away for reasons unknown. When her brother, Thomas, presents her with the opportunity to enter the fight and join him in raining down some terror of their own, Cindy jumps at the chance. That jump lands her in a position where she must lay aside her preconceived notions of who she is and dig deeper than ever to find the warrior within. A surprise attack on her school and the surrounding villages, puts her skills and personal resolve to the test. This leads her directly into the larger battle for all their lives. Dark discoveries threaten the elusive security of Talamh and endanger the sacred purpose. A much longed for trip home to Earth proves that there is no safe haven from the dangers that have been unleashed. These discoveries may decide if Cindy really is destined to be a daughter of Talamh or if her destiny lies on Earth.
