Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
Outcast swordfighter, Kyer Halidan, was abandoned in a cornfield at age three. Now, twenty years on, she’s searching for answers: Who left her there? And why?
Kyer doesn’t suffer fools, and when she kills a man in a duel, it changes her life forever.
The duel catches the eye of Valrayker, a legendary hero, who pulls her into his company for a high-stakes mission to save a village. While on the mission, Kyer is stalked and captured by powerful allies of the man she killed, who are determined to learn what she knows—and will stop at nothing to find out.
She’s rescued by an inexplicable magic that raises suspicions among her friends—and fuels her enemies’ wrath even further. And worse—their fear.
As trust crumbles around her and danger closes in, Kyer must defy orders and challenge the very people she swore to follow.
As for her true identity, Valrayker harbours his own suspicions. But he’s keeping those secrets to himself… for now.
Gatekeeper's Key is an adventure riddled with danger, intrigue, mysterious magic, scheming villains, humour, sword-wielding badassery, and dark consequences.
