A World Where Magic Flows. One Woman’s Astonishing Power. A Choice No One Should Make.Beyond The Sapphire Gate is the start of an epic high fantasy series like no other.Afraid for the safety of the one person she cares most about having raised —younger sister Jade, Crystalyn must search through the lush, but primitive world of Astura using her wits and untrained magic. Though a circle of mystic Light Users who fight a century-old war against a Dark Citadel block the way, Crystalyn is determined to find and rescue her sibling. Invoking symbols of power become commonplace, which takes a heavy toll on her body with each use, draining her life. Even so, destruction follows in her wake as she clashes with deadly creatures, magic users, and her own inner demon, a broiling anger affliction that stems from an act of violence against her earlier in life. Only her medication keeps her from slipping into madness… But she’s running out, and everyone wants her to join with them, to use her astonishing power for their perceived greater good. Even the striking and enigmatic Dark User Darwin desires her to lead a fortress of soldiers and dark creations, standing by his side. A tempting offer, but one that comes with a consequence she’s not prepared for. Will she use her power to take many lives, perhaps even loved ones, to gain happiness that may not come again? Yet, she cannot give up on family even though it seems hopeless… can she? The thought of it all makes her head throb and her anger rise…Fans of The Wheel Of Time, The Stormlight Archives, and The Blue Adept Series who like reading riveting fantasy adventure will love Beyond The Sapphire Gate.
