Publisher's Synopsis
Gateway, Part One, Cover art by Derek Quint. An urban fantasy in two parts, Gateway appeals to both young adult audiences as well as adult. A little bit of magic and some romance thrown in, this novel appeals to a wide range of readers. An archangel wants her death, the devil wants her body, and a fallen angel has stolen her heart. Inside Caroline Westfall is a Gateway to Hell, and only ingenuity, sorcery and love stand between her and the end of the world. As if a lifetime of TV reruns and a portal to the underworld inside her wasn't enough, nineteen-year-old Caroline must now battle the very people she thought were protecting her. With completely unexpected permission from the head of The 10,000 Year Commission, she embarks on a road trip from her home in Dallas to Jacksonville, Florid, in the company of the fallen angel Bel Tenu. Surprised by her own magical powers and Bel's devotion, Caroline inadvertently falls in love with her companion. Bel rebels against his orders to deliver Caroline to imprisonment and experimentation at the hands of the Florida sorcerers. So begins a journey fraught with battles against angels, demons, sorcerers and ghosts. Everything she was raised to believe is suspect. Everyone she was told to hate seems nice. What's a girl to believe when the fate of the world rests on her shoulders?
