Chapter 9 - Shadows of the Gate

Some walls hold back monsters. Some hold back the truth about who you are.

There's a particular silence that fills a house when trust fractures — not the silence of absence, but of someone choosing not to come closer. This chapter sits in that silence, in the unbearable weight of being seen for the first time by the people who thought they already knew you.

Narrated by Rebecca Hasler.

Set in D.W. Sheppard’s vast interconnected world where protective Gates hold back deadly monsters and treacherous flora, where safety is never guaranteed.
