Rachel Jacobs has lost it all; money, a Wall Street career barely begun and the man of her dreams, but at least she has stayed out of prison—if you don’t count being forced home to hot, dusty, dying Bodine as prison. Then a handsome stranger with a crystalline blade and a miraculous skill comes to town, and she is plunged into a mystery so deep and dangerous that death is a welcome relief from the nightmares it brings. Who would have guessed that Bodine held the Gate to the hell fires of Chaos?
The stranger, Cameron Brady, believes he's the last in a line of gatekeepers, a line that has remained hidden for twelve thousand years. His tale of a Creator and the universe that resulted is a mix of the paranormal, religion, Buddhism and science fiction--so Rachel rightfully doesn’t believe any of it, despite what she may have seen with her own eyes. Then Cam vanishes as suddenly as he arrived, leaving behind the mystery of a missing teenage girl, an evil FBI agent and a town sliding into Chaos. Rachel pursues Cam, unknowingly leaving a trail for his hunters, a group of powerful men devoted to the Creator and its plan to cleanse the world. They have laid a trap for the Gatekeeper and she has helped them spring it. Life, all life, hangs in the balance as Bodine is turned into a sanctuary for the shadows that have begun leaking through the Gate and spreading their nightmares. But, within those shadows is a door to a life she has missed out on. That life is a dream fulfilled for Rachel and all she has to do is let Chaos reign. Will she?
