The Scroll: The Gateway Chronicles 5

Darcy Pennington lives each year twice, once in her world and once in Alitheia. But Tellius—whom she loves more than life—carries on in Alitheia year over year without her. She’s always been keenly aware of this fact, but never more so than when a window opens between their worlds showing Tellius captured, imprisoned, and tortured. Plunging into despair, Darcy heads back to Alitheia with a singular goal: Save Tellius, even if it means giving Tselloch something in return. Rubidius doesn’t seem to find Tellius’s situation as urgent as she does, however, and as preparations to rescue him drag on, Darcy feels like she’s losing her mind—especially as her friends join the alchemist in holding secrets and Tselloch sends deceptive apparitions to torment her. Darcy will do whatever it takes to rescue Tellius, and she won’t let time run out before she gives all she has to bring him back. "Author K. B. Hoyle pens scenes that pop with vibrant details, making the world of Alitheia vivid and very much alive for the reader... The world of fantasy fiction is brought to an entirely new level with this outstanding series." - Literary Classics International Book Awards "While several authors have... had their worlds compared to Narnia by hopeful publicists, none have ever come close to capturing the feel of Lewis's books. The Gateway Chronicles miss that mark, as well, but they are still possibly the most worthy contenders to date, in terms of atmosphere and sheer readability." - BreakPoint Youth Reads "Hoyle did not simply put words to a page, she told a story that matters. The Gateway Chronicles , above all, is a transformative story--of the characters, the world of Alitheia, and even the audience who reads it." - Rise Up Daily "[ The Gateway Chronicles ] are a great read for adults. More importantly, any parent of teenagers should be pushing them to put away the video games and discover K.B. Hoyle's deep and engaging tales." - David Blair for China Daily "[Hoyle's] Gateway Chronicles is a six-book fantasy series with masterful planning and plotting. If you loved looking for 'clues' in the Harry Potter series to help you guess what was coming, you'll have the same fun here." - Tea and Ink Society K. B. Hoyle fell in love with fantasy literature when she walked through a wardrobe at age six, and she never looked back. She is the recipient of several international book awards and honors, including the Gold Award for Best Young Adult Series from Literary Classics for The Gateway Chronicles. She lives in Alabama with her husband and four sons, and she is never without a story on her lips.
