Beyond The Fifth Gate

Twelve years after being abducted by an insectoid race as a child, Elita survives an existence of forced labor and constant fear of a violent death within the hive complex. Laws prohibit humans from speaking, writing, or reading, but they develop clandestine forms of communication.

Elita and a handful of fellow captives hold fast to prophecies learned in childhood. The long-awaited Kamali's Cycle, heralded by the conjunction of five planets, kindles tangible hope for freedom. But to gain that freedom, as the Chosen, Elita must travel through five mystical gates to secure crucial items, and return to Haldis before the planetary alignment concludes.

With no idea of what is ahead or what she needs to do, she must trust Kamali to find the way, discover what she needs beyond each gate, and return to Haldis. Mustering her faith, she enters the gateway knowing it is a one-way race against time before the planets move out of alignment and the gates close for another 50 years. Can Elita accomplish her mission in time to free her home world and return to the man she loves?
