Gatefall: The Crown's Passage

When a shimmering portal tears through the heart of London, disgorging legions of dragon-riding knights and mythical beasts, the United Kingdom faces an unprecedented crisis. Amid the ashes of Buckingham Palace and the rubble of Parliament, Captain Alastair Reid—a battle-scarred veteran of Afghanistan—leads a ragtag coalition of Royal Marines, rogue historians, and disillusioned politicians into the fantastical "Special Region." But this realm of warring elves, scheming sorcerers, and ancient gods is no passive medieval playground. As Reid navigates blood-soaked alliances and geopolitical brinkmanship, he uncovers a chilling truth: the Gate’s creators are watching, and humanity’s survival hinges on a choice—conquer or collaborate.
