Keepers of the North Gate · Book Four
Book 4 of the Keepers of the North Gate. A completed six-book found-family fantasy saga.
A Rising of Lights
Twenty-six years alone on a mountain. One light coming up the trail.
Above the treeline, at a weather post the maps barely admit to, Ellen Parker has kept a solitary watch for twenty-six years, filing her reports in a flat professional voice and asking nothing of anybody, ever. Four hundred miles south, her daughter keeps a gate, and a family, and a count that reaches further every season.
Now the network is reaching for the sky itself. A far house that has stood dark for years opens one shutter. Lights begin to rise. A harbor man with fifty years of cedar in his sea chest starts driving the border road. And the family faces the hardest relief on any of its books: how do you bring home a keeper who chose the mountain?
The mission was never the weather.
