Gateway of the Ancients: Among the Ruins of the Kingdom - Book 1

The quiet life of a timid farm boy from Lanksher is shattered when a sinister shadow marks him for death. Forced from his family and their peaceful village, Chayim embarks on a desperate quest to understand why this evil now stalks his every move. With unexpected allies-an eccentric old sage, an immortal knight from a long-forgotten kingdom, and a perplexingly flirtatious girl who seems to take pleasure in tormenting him-Chayim learns he is the focus of an ancient prophecy. He must seek the lost armor of Mélekh while being threatened by golems, dragons, and a lich sorcerer. Among the ruins of a fallen kingdom, Chayim must overcome his doubts and step into a great power, or watch the world and everyone he loves be consumed by darkness.
