Thebored
It began on an ordinary day in Alaska.
No warning.
No buildup.
The sky darkened, the rain fell-and two Gates appeared.
Massive structures of warped, Roman-like design, carved with dragon motifs and ancient runes.
One rose from the sea. The other split the land itself.
From them came soldiers, mages... and creatures long thought to be myth.
They didn't come in peace.
Towns burned. Civilians died. And when the military finally responded, they wiped the invaders out with overwhelming force.
But the Gates didn't close.
Months later, the war has changed.
Now, humanity pushes back.
Jake Vladimir Morgan-an operator with a reputation and a past he doesn't talk about-is sent through one of the Gates on a joint operation with a newly public, elite supersoldier unit born from the first invasion.
They're heroes.
He's not.
Different methods. Different morals.
Same mission.
Inside the Gate, the rules change-and whatever waits on the other side isn't finished with them yet.
