Chapter 5 - Shadows of the Gate

Clotheslines and wildflowers and the kind of silence that sits between two people who almost say too much.This chapter opens like a window after a closed room — sunlit, full of children's voices and the easy rhythm of friendship.

Sheppard’s vast interconnected world where protective Gates hold back deadly monsters and treacherous flora, where safety is never guaranteed.Support the show:Grab the full novel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWNBQWZMStream sats or boost on Fountain.fm to support more episodesLeave a rating or review to help new listeners find the seriesNew episodes every Tuesday.
