Through The Glass

Jacqueline "Jay" Bryant survived Seattle streets, the foster care system, and a lifetime of running. She knows the rules: dont trust strangers, never carry dead weight, and keep a blade within reach. But when a walk behind an isolated cabin pulls her through a vein of black glass into another realm, the rules change.

In an opulent temple reeking of cloying incense, decadence, and blood-soaked politics, she isnt a runaway—shes the prophesied Messenger.

High Priestess Morgan rules with poisoned smiles, dripping in gold and ruthless possession. At her side sits Asher: dangerous, deceptively soft-spoken, and far too perceptive. Assigned to keep Jay compliant, Asher is everything she despises and the only ally she has in a court designed to swallow her whole.

To survive, Jay will have to navigate a gilded nightmare where Messengers are tools, magic is currency, and falling for the enemy is the fastest way to bleed.

Through the Glass is Book Two in The Gate Trilogy, a dark, high-heat portal romantasy featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a cynical survivor who refuses to kneel.
