Gatekeeper's Crucible

"If you're so obsessed with the truth, you need to look a little closer to home."

At the party celebrating Derry's knighthood, Kyer learns a terrible truth—her "Guardian" is none other than Golgathaur, lieutenant to Dregor himself.

Faced with rescuing the one person who holds the key to her identity, Kyer must use her newfound magical talent to enter the realm of her enemy, alone. There, Golgathaur reveals something that will not only change her life, but also the lives of those whom she holds most dear. He demands an impossible choice, even as Kyer is thunderstruck by yet another magical discovery.

Realizing that her motivations are agonizingly interconnected with her enemy leads to an inconvenient truth: each needs the other alive to achieve their goals. Worse, one she thought she could trust is hiding the most terrible secret of all. 

Kyer and the company led by Lord Valrayker soon find themselves on a journey to carry out a horrific deed in order to save Rydris from a terrible fate. 

Even those who have already fled are in peril.

"Gatekeeper's Crucible introduced me to the fantasy series I didn't know I sorely needed. With rich, well-woven world building, resilient heroes, and wretched villains, Wallace had me under her spell from the first word to the last."
