Description

Semprys has one job: break into an ancient fortress-prison, steal a few relics from under the nose of the Vigil, and pay the debt threatening her brother's life. When everything goes wrong and she's trapped in the ruins beneath the prison, she discovers that the relics are more than she thought, the prison guards aren't her only enemies, and the price of escape might be higher than she can bear. A grimdark fantasy novella about the weight of grief, the cost of magic, and what we owe the dead.

Memory's Gate is a prequel novella to the events of Splinters of Heaven, Book 1 of Pax Terminus.
