Born to protect. He came here to hide. Clairvoyance isn't a gift, it's a curse, or so believes Rogan Moore, a troubled psychic in a desperate search for his sanity. Help arrives when he takes a job as caretaker of a magnificent old Victorian, the Rothe house. For despite its ancient lineage and potential for haunting, the house becomes the perfect sanctuary. It's a place he can recover and while hiding behind its protective iron gate he can hardly believe his luck. Except Rogan isn't the only one under the house's protection. New guests arrive. Lennox, a precocious and inquisitive young boy, and a tall, mysterious stranger named Jake who carries an inexplicable aura of menace. Rogan's job becomes decidedly more complicated when the younger guest goes missing and the house shows its true colors. For beneath it lies another world, complex, fragile, sometimes deadly and saturated with myth and monsters--just waiting for those who can see things better than most. Rogan is tested to the limit as he and Jake attempt a rescue. But will his enhanced perception help him survive? Or will he finally succumb to his nightmares? A fantasy tale of adventure and dangerous alliances, Palladium's Gate is the first in a series.
