The Last Gate by Elizabeth MerzDescription: The best measuring rode of the quality of a good book is that when the last page is turned and you come to the final word of the last sentence; you will regret ending of the book. It is like saying goodbye to a friend. I thought that way when I finished this unforgettable achievement of the imagination: The Last Gate! Merz's debut novel has all of the assurance of a master storyteller and her world-building skills are incredible as she takes you to the world of the Ver dala Ven, a magical race who's purpose is to guide people in wartorn world. You will enter a world of memorable cast of characters who's dreams, loves, conflicts and hatred will be as real as your own or as real as the latest tragedy on the evening news.
You will enter the powerful country of Jantideva who rules this planet. You will fall in love with characters like freedom-fighter Shonti, Shelon who battles Jantideva to free his people from slavery. Coba-the Verdala Ven who is prophecized to finding the massing star that will heal his world.
Gella, the Shonti woman that loves Shelon and shares his dream of freeing their people. Bail and Jishni the dakas,which are the rulers of Jantideva who can make decisions that affect their citizens but cannot stop the fragmentation of their family. Taen-the son of Coba and Jishni a cruel and ruthless young man who seek power and revenge against his own family. Bailin, the son of the son of Bail and Jishni who falls in love with Shonti.
Also in this series are Betnoni's Prophecy, Cobo's Quest
