From the first page readers will be swept up in the story of Mai and Captain Anji  as they become unwitting players in a conflict that began many years earlier  and which will shake the foundations of their land. For hundreds of years the Guardians have ruled the world of the Hundred  but these powerful gods no longer exert their will on the world. Only the reeves  who patrol on enormous eagles  still represent the Guardians power. And the reeves are losing their authority; for there is a dark shadow across the land that not even the reeves can stop. A group of fanatics has risen to devour villages  towns  and cities in their drive to annihilate all who oppose them. No one knows who leads them; they seem inhumanly cruel and powerful. Mai and Anji  riding with a company of dedicated warriors and a single reeve who may hold a key to stopping the deadly advance of the devouring horde  must try  or the world will be lost to the carnage. But a young woman sworn to the Goddess may prove more important than them all . . . if they are not too late. A haunting tale of people swept up by the chaos of war  this is superlative fantasy adventure  rich in texture  filled with color and excitement  masterfully crafted by a brilliantly gifted storyteller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45273626345525,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765349302","price":63.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765349309.jpg?v=1780490360","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/spirit-gate-crossroads-book-1-9780765349309","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
