by James Maxwell (Author)
Power is never granted... it is only seized.
BLOOD AND EMPIRE begins best-selling author James Maxwell's long-awaited new epic fantasy series, THE GATEWAY SAGA-a gripping tale of ambition, sacrifice, and defiance in the face of destiny.
Young seamstress Bethany dreams of becoming a diviner, one of the select few able to navigate the mysterious gateways that unite the empire. But without wealth or education, and only her mother to raise her, she is on a path to disappointment.
Then Bethany meets Charlton, a cleric, who offers her books and guidance, and she glimpses a life she had thought unreachable. Her problems grow, however, when her ambitions draw attention and her father re-enters her life, confronting her with the fact that she still has a troubled past to come to terms with.
As invasion threatens the empire, and intrigue and betrayal create fault lines amongst the highest circles, Bethany must learn to master both powerful forces and herself, in order to confront the darkness within her own bloodline-and save the empire from itself.
The Gateway Saga Book 2 is coming in 2025!
