Fantasy novel mixes mythology and alternate dimensions for
page-turning adventure
GREENSBORO, North Carolina – Author Alison Levy crashes onto
the fantasy scene with the first installment of The Daemon Collecting Series,
Gatekeeper (Spark Press, October 6, 2020). Using her writing to cope with
anxiety, Levy expertly weaves a page turning story full of action, alternate
universes, and heroism. Her vivid world building and unique characters show
readers what it looks like to fight for survival while standing up for what is
right, even if it’s risky.
In Gatekeeper, Rachel Wilde comes from a dimension that
exists adjacent to ours. The people there have structured their society around
daemon collecting: they locate, catch, and repair malfunctioning daemons
(creatures out of phase with our world that tempt people to do good or evil).
Now Rachel has been given two unusual assignments: 1) find a person who has
been trying to break down dimensional barriers, and 2) track down a missing
line of gatekeepers, human placeholders for a daemon that was too badly damaged
to repair.
Authorities of Rachel’s world believe the missing
gatekeepers are descended from a girl who went missing from West Africa
hundreds of years ago, likely sold into slavery. With no leads to go on, Rachel
seeks help from Bach, a raving homeless man who happens to be an oracle. Bach
does put her in the path of both of her targets—but he also lands her in a
life-threatening situation. Rachel must stop the criminal, reunite a gatekeeper
with her stolen past, and, above all, survive.
ALISON LEVY lives in Greensboro, North Carolina with her
husband, son, and variety of pets. When she’s not writing or doing mom things,
she crochets, gardens, walks her collies, and works on home improvement
projects.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
