Shadows Beyond The Gate

The veil is thinning—and not all spirits whisper.

After opening his sight to the hidden world, Alex Chen finds himself caught between memory and myth, grief and awakening. Back in Taiwan, where ghost gates creak open and incense burns in silence, the journey continues. But what began as healing now draws darker shapes from the beyond.

Together with the enigmatic Wai Le, Alex must face spirits that no longer rest—and truths that no longer sleep. A rose-carrying child, a demon of desire, and a sister whose pain is carved in logic pull him into a new trial of shadow and soul.

As love deepens and danger sharpens, the line between this world and the next begins to blur.

Shadows Beyond the Gate is a queer spiritual fantasy of soul magic, haunted memory, and the courage to walk where others fear. The second book in the Echos of the Veil series invites you deeper into the unseen—where every shadow holds a story, and every gate demands a choice.
