Synopsis

Wingheart: Spirit's Gate is the second book in the Wingheart Trilogy
www.winghearttrilogy.com

Two years after the fall of Daimos’ empire, the Arkane province of Serenia has been restored to its former glory. But below the surface, its enemies are far from idle.

Plans are fast underway for the New Order cult to call their allegedly undead master, Sennair Drakathel, back from the grave—plans, orchestrated by the ghost of Sennair himself, that would see the rebirth of an unconquerable army and the ruin of all Arkane.

Once again, Cecil Handel and the Wingheart brothers, Magnus and Drake, are forced into the role of the opposition. Alongside a criminal mastermind with mysterious intentions and the unscrupulous creature who murdered the Winghearts’ mother, they become embroiled in a web of intrigue where they can never be certain whether they are working to thwart or advance the Order’s plans.

Lives, loyalties, and minds will crumble until Arkane’s greatest conspiracy is seen to its conclusion, for good or for ill.

About this title

About the Author:

Benjamin Gabbay is a young writer in Toronto, Canada. Drawing inspiration from mythology, the supernatural, and intriguing scenes of the everyday world, he loves to fashion intricate storylines that infuse a stunning new realism into classic fantasy. His first book, Wingheart: Luminous Rock, was published just prior to his 17th birthday in September 2012.

Review:

Benjamin Gabbay has done it again--ruined perfectly good vacation days by keeping me on the edge of my seat page by page, chapter by chapter. I don't know how he creates a completely new world parallel to earth without our feeling as if it weren't really there. I can easily imagine myself in Arkane. I can imagine talking with the characters over a meal and being intrigued by the winged female character as if she were real. Tie the setting to a gripping story that keeps you up far too late at night and you know you have a winner. As a non-fiction author, I spend my life researching and writing books to help people learn knowledge and skills.So it is no surprise that I do not typically enjoy fantasy books. The Harry Potter series changed that for me and now Wingheart accomplishes the same thing. I hope I live long enough to read Gabbay's books for decades to come.This one is certainly worth it.
