Colonies of Man
About this ebook
In a feudal society rife with fossilized dragons where ancient legends merge with lost technology, the enigmatic Gates of Life rise—twin silver arches towering above the forest canopy. Only at dawn on the solstice do faint runes awaken, shimmering briefly through the mist, revealing a gateway to forgotten secrets.
When daring adventurers arrive, will primeval guardians deny entry, allow passage, or entrap them on a perilous one-way journey?
Among those who answer the call are two relentless bounty hunters, a determined archaeologist, a fierce warrior sworn to protect her charge, and a young man haunted by the power to fade into shadows. With military forces threatening to disrupt the delicate balance, time is running out.
Each seeker must confront ancient forces and hidden perils as they discover secret treasures that lie… Beneath the Gates.
Fantasy and science fiction meets archaeology.

About the author
Kayelle Allen did a tour in the US Navy, where she climbed around airplanes (on the ground, thankfully) fixing black boxes that helped pilots find their way home.
She wrote her first science fiction novel at eighteen and to this day, it's hidden under the bed, where she vows it will remain. Gems from it, however, launched several series in her galaxy-wide universe of stories.
From childhood, Kayelle was the victim of an overactive imagination and inherited the Irish gift of gab from her mother. From her father, she got a healthy respect for mechanical things.
No wonder she writes Science Fiction and Fantasy peopled with misbehaving robots, mythic heroes, role playing immortal gamers, and warriors who purr. She's been married so long she's tenured.
