A veteran of the Mage War, Brenna Hunter vanished from the magical community so she could live a magic-free life and raise her daughter in peace. When her daughter is kidnapped by Kirra, a mage bent on vengeance, Brenna has to draw on her long-dormant magical skills to rescue her. Now, Brenna finds herself caught up in the fight between Kirra and the Belfries as she fights to find her daughter and bring her home.

​

As Brenna starts the hunt for her daughter, she finds herself being pulled back into the magical community. The further down the path she goes, the more she finds out that her daughter's disappearance is not about Brenna's part in the Mage War, but instead is one piece of Kirra's plan to destroy the world on her path for revenge. Drawing on old and new resources in the magical society of the Belfries, Brenna joins three brother mages who have been drawn into the plot, as well as her former lover from the war, to find out just how to stop the vengeful, power-hungry mage.

This is book 1 in the trilogy of the Death Gate. The second volume, Blood Magic, is currently written and in revisions and continues to follow the story of Brenna Hunter and her companions.
