Rise of the Gatebreakers

They say that the Goddess hates a gatebreaker, but Rabin Grandtree and Marli Lavare seem born to test that theory and test each other. Living under the prophecy that he is the Second Son, born to die by pride, Rabin learns that proud or humble, everybody dies. As Marli struggles for control, she begins to understand what Rabin learned early -- some gates need breaking.
