Join us on Monday, November 2, at 7:00 PM for an evening of fantasy with Kate Elliott and Ken Scholes. Traitors' Gate concludes the Crossroads trilogy, although readers will be pleased to learn it is not the final book Kate plans for that world. In Spirit Gate and Shadow Gate, the Guardians, gods of the world of the Hundred, have lost their hold over the world, resulting in chaos and destructive battles for power. Now, as the struggles for an uncertain and uneasy peace continue, a new threat arises from an unexpected source.

Ken's debut novel, Lamentation, received wide acclaim and was a Signed First Edition Pick for MG. Canticle: The Second Book of the Psalms of Isaak, returns readers to the science fantasy setting. Nine months after the end of the last book, birth, assassination, war, prophecy, intrigue and magic cause havoc in the Named Lands, set in Earth's far future in a time when magic works.

In "Spirit Gate" and "Shadow Gate," Kate Elliott took readers to the fascinating world of the Hundred, a land teeming with an array of cultures, gods, and conflicts blighted by the shadow of chaos and destruction. Now, with the same intensity and dramatic sweep that has brought this epic to life, Elliott returns to the exquisitely crafted cities and landscapes of the Hundred, in a thunderous conclusion to the saga.In the darkness of war and destruction, forces gather to reclaim the peace: Those immortal Guardians who still serve justice seek a means to end the devastating reign of one of their own; a hired outlander army struggles to halt the advance of the horde that has despoiled vast lands and slaughtered countless people in its murderous wake, while still guarding against a burgeoning threat from an aggressively expansionist empire; and the eagle reeves who have long been the only law enforcers of the Hundred struggle to reorganize after a devastating massacre has decimated their numbers. But even as these forces give hope to those who would live in peace, a terrible danger looms: a traitor with Imperial ambitions, the most dreaded, least anticipated threat of all...
In the unfolding drama of political upheaval and violent change, nothing is certain, as alliances dissolve and power shifts with the unpredictability of a desert sandstorm. A riotous epic with the vast breadth and excitement only masterful storyteller Kate Elliott can summon, Traitors' Gate will leave her many readers begging for more.
