Publisher's summary

A warning from the past, an uncertain future, an impossible choice....

For hundreds of years, the Durupinen have carried the power of the Gateway in their bloodlines. Now, a dire warning from the past might mean that power must come to an end. Jess Ballard has often considered her gift a curse - but now it may truly become one, unless she can convince the leaders of the Durupinen world to restore the power of the Gateways where it rightly belongs. The Durupinen have always considered themselves a force for what is good in the world, but has the intoxication of power left them unable to distinguish between what is right and wrong?

Jess, Hannah, Milo, and their allies are in a race against time as they gather together the most influential Durupinen from around the world to join the fight. As the Necromancer threat looms, and the Durupinen leaders battle over which course to take, Jess must travel her own path, look within herself, and ask: How far will she go to right an ancient wrong, and will her connection to the spirit world survive it?

Great series ending

I may not be a young adult, but I really liked this series. Lyssa Browne is one of the best narrators. Her different dialects are flawless. Jess Ballard is like Harry Potter, only she has spirit gifts, not magical powers.

If this was the last book...

I enjoyed it, I have enjoyed the whole series too. If this was the last book for the series, I will be sad of course. Yet it wrapped up enough of the story to be enjoyable and it allows for more books too, but in a slightly different direction. I won't spoil the story for you but just know it is an interesting journey and as always a bumpy and interesting one.

please tell me there is more after this.

I started this series wondering why I left it sitting in my not started category so long, before I knew it, it was 2 wks later and I had finished all 10 novels, I literally had the next one que'd to start before I was completely finished. As a truck driver, the length of each was absolutely wonderful to enjoy each drive shift.
The narration was spot on, the narrator did their homework and really hit all of the emotions and que's of each character, Absolutely amazing work. I now have another author and more narrator's I will follow.
The author is absolutely remarkable, what a wonderful storyline and what a creative imagination. I have already told all of my friends about this series and will look for more work from this team of professionals.
This whole series keeps you captivated and craving more. You will definitely not be disappointed. I absolutely recommend the audio version as well as hold in your hands read.

Long before this point, you feel like you're family and love visiting. I really hope there is more on it's way.

I absolutely love the characters and they are very well established in the core of my heart. There is definitely more story to tell here.
