Gateway and the Last Priest of the Avatar

Gateway and the Last Priest of the Avatar is the second book in the Gateway series. This book takes off at the end of book one, after our heroes face the high queen of Acara's assassin cube. The assassin cube was an amalgam of souls forced by dark magic, together with the purpose of capturing Royal-her lost son-and Simon Monroe. In addition, it was supposed to kill Lethia and Reverend Monroe, his kidnappers. As a result of the fire at the church and Tisha's quick thinking, our heroes defeated the mechanisms of the high queen. Yet as a result of battle, for the first time, our heroes were separated in splintered groups. Reverend Royal Monroe, Hue Lee, Lethia, Maximus, and Wisdom Simms were left to figure out a way off of the Lost Islands, which were at the end of Acara. Simon Monroe, Reverend Monroe, Mr. Ben Lee, Officer Purcell Simms, and new comrades were in a race of time against another creation of the dark queen, the Marauder, which sought to stop them from finding their only way to Acara. Lastly, Tisha, alone, is left to the Wonders of Acara City. The Wonders sought to transform her into the essence of something she was not before. From Balimore to Acara City to the Lost Islands, all roads led everyone to the enigmatic red desert, a direct confrontation with the High Queen, and finally, the birth of the last priest of the Avatar.
