Beyond the Fifth Gate
Five planets visibly align in the dawn sky marking the long-awaited Kamali's Cycle. With it comes the promise of freedom for Elita's home world. But first, as the Chosen, she must travel through five mystical gates and return home to Haldis with items key to that freedom. Upon entering the first gate, there's no turning back. Travel is a one-way race against time before the planets move out of alignment and the gates close for another 50 years.

Beyond the Fifth GateAuthor Donna Sundblad

Beyond the Fifth Gate is a beautiful story of trust, love, hate, faith, respect, fear, courage, and acceptance. Once again, author Donna Sundblad does it all!
Right from the start, Sundblad has readers on the edge of their seats watching hideous, creatures invade twelve-year-old Elita's home, murder her father and drag her and other children away for their slaves.
For twelve years in captivity, in a world where humans are prohibited to speak, write, or read, Elita clings to hope with memories of the prophecies her father taught her about the 'chosen one', coming to save the world. Under impossible conditions, Elita, grows into a courageous young woman, and is shocked when she realizes she is the "chosen one". She reluctantly, yet heroically, rises to the challenge of saving humanity.
Beyond the Fifth Gate, is exciting all the way through! The mystical gates and the ways characters make their entrances into each world are unique, as are the battles fought and friendships forged. I loved it. Each new world beyond the gates is fascinating and filled with extraordinary, yet believable characters. The last gate--the fifth gate--and where it leads is remarkable.
Sundblad's imagination is wild and wonderful and somewhat frightening. As in her other Novel, Windwalker, Sundblad does an incredible job of creating a distinctive world and vividly describing it, making you believe you are there. I am looking forward to her next novel.
~ Author L. Russomanno
"I was impressed with how Donna Sunblad has woven a tale that gets into the mind, the fear and courage of this young heroine, Elita. The plot is solid and the atmosphere is painted perfectly by this fine author.
In this world that often keeps us so busy that we scarcely have time to breathe, it is wonderful to sit down and read a book that takes us out of this world and into another, a world that is in dire need of "Chosen One" to lead us out of despair. I know you'll love this story and I hope you will get a copy and read it to the end!" ~ Author Steven Clark Bradley
