GATEBORN
Cracks Of The Veil
In the mining town of Rustenburg, children are vanishing without a trace.
Legend has lived his entire life unaware that he carries an ancient burden-a copper box forged from his dying mother's sacrifice, marking him as The Key to gates between worlds. When the disappearances begin, his ordinary life shatters as supernatural forces awaken beneath the red dust of South Africa's platinum belt.
Upindi appears to be everything good about the community-a charitable church elder beloved by all. But behind his benevolent mask lurks a *Mchawi* conducting unspeakable rituals, trading innocent children's souls for demonic entities to build his army of Thikoloshis.
As reality fractures around them, Legend joins forces with Boipelo, a girl who reads omens in smoke, and Tshepo, a boy who casts no shadow and channels the power of an otherworldly river. Together, they must navigate the thin places where the veil between worlds tears open, confronting not just monsters, but the awakening of something far older and hungrier-the King of the Night himself.
But stopping ancient evil demands an ancient price. To save Rustenburg's children, one of them must become the very thing they're fighting against.
Some doors should never be opened. Others can only be sealed from the inside.
A supernatural horror rooted in South African mythology that explores the cost of heroism and the scars left by battles fought in the shadows.
