The City Beyond the Last Gate
The Chronicles of Blackwater - Book 2
M.J. Webb
The gates were never meant to open this far.
Jack Mercer thought surviving Blackwater had taught him the rules. He was wrong.
Beyond the Last Gate lies a network older and more dangerous than anything Jack and his companions have encountered-a vast system of Anchors, forgotten civilisations and fractured realities, all connected by a history that was deliberately buried.
As Jack is drawn deeper into the mystery, he discovers Aion, the first Zero, and Saera, an ancient intelligence whose stolen fragments became the foundation of navigation itself. But freeing them threatens to tear apart the very network that billions of lives depend upon.
Then Cluster One returns.
A civilisation believed destroyed has survived for more than two hundred thousand years outside causality-and six trillion people are coming home.
With realities beginning to collapse, Jack and his allies face an impossible choice: preserve the system that has kept countless worlds alive, or destroy the rules that allowed people to be treated as tools in the first place.
But Jack has learned there is almost always another choice.
As six Anchors awaken and the mysterious recovery sequence begins, an even greater secret emerges beneath Blackwater itself.
The oldest door has been waiting.
And somehow, it already knows Jack.
Because the Blackwater story didn't begin with him.
It began in 1891.
And waiting there is a fifteen-year-old boy with Jack Mercer's face.
The City Beyond the Last Gate is Book 2 of The Chronicles of Blackwater, a fast-paced science-fiction fantasy adventure of impossible worlds, ancient mysteries, friendship, identity and the choices that make us who we are.
Some doors lead to other worlds.
Some lead to the past.
And some should never remember your name.
