- I
- hate
- you,"
- Cree
- moaned.
- They
- lay
- flat
- on
- their
- backs
- on
- top
- of
- the
- supplies,
- the
- ceiling
- spinning
- above,
- gasping
- for
- breath.
- "Some
- partner
- you
- are.
- You
- puked
- on
- me!"
"It's
- your
- fault,"
- Ben
- wheezed.
- "I
- wouldn't
- have
- barfed
- on
- you,
- if
- you
- hadn't
- barfed
- on
- me
- first."Sixteen-year
- old
- Ben
- is
- the
- Last
- Gatekeeper,
- tasked
- with
- closing
- the
- portals
- between
- the
- world
- of
- man
- and
- the
- world
- of
- Em
- --
- a
- magical
- land
- created
- to
- protect
- creatures
- of
- myth
- that
- once
- existed
- in
- the
- old
- world.After
- successfully
- closing
- the
- gate
- in
- the
- Center
- Lands,
- Ben
- and
- Cree,
- along
- with
- the
- others,
- journey
- to
- the
- Northern
- Mountains
- to
- close
- the
- second
- gate.
- Unfortunately,
- things
- don't
- go
- the
- way
- they've
- planned
- at
- all.
- Barely
- a
- day
- passes
- where
- their
- lives
- aren't
- in
- mortal
- danger.
- To
- make
- matters
- worse,
- the
- waters
- of
- Ben's
- relationship
- with
- his
- half-breed
- faerie
- mate,
- Cree,
- are
- anything
- but
- tranquil.
- And
- if
- that
- isn't
- bad
- enough,
- he
- doesn't
- even
- know
- the
- location
- of
- the
- second
- gate
- he's
- supposed
- to
- close.From
- ravenous
- wolves
- to
- dragons;
- every
- encounter
- is
- fraught
- with
- danger
- and
- delight.
- Facing
- seemingly
- insurmountable
- obstacles
- the
- entire
- way,
- Ben
- and
- the
- others
- are
- determined
- to
- complete
- their
- mission
- or
- die trying.
