Summary

A mysterious mark, an ancient spirit, and a message from beyond the Aether....

After uncovering and destroying a Necromancer plot to take over Skye Priosún, Jess and Finn are united at last and longing to move on with their life together. But the Durupinen world has other plans.

An enigmatic rune keeps revealing itself to Jess - in artwork, in dreams, and even scrawled upon the ancient stones of the Geatgrima at Fairhaven. No one can identify it, but its warning is clear: Something dangerous is coming, a revelation that could end the Gateway system forever.

Jess must follow the clues where they lead - forming unlikely alliances along the way. When her journey takes her at last to an ancient creature deep in the heart of the priosún, the truth she learns presents her with the most troubling question of all: What if her Durupinen gift was never really a gift at all, but something altogether darker?

Completely compelling.

Fantastic story telling, intricate twists and turns, an alternative reality to mine but one I now care about deeply. Can't wait to read the next in series.

Another good installment

I listened to all of the Jess Ballard books, and Ii am reviewing them altogether.
Good: A great idea for a story. It could have been confusing but easy to follow and well written. Make sure you start with Spirit Legacy - I started The Gateway Tracker book one, which was the fourth book! The story kept me listening, and I liked the main character. The ending of the series was very good. The story references genuine groups and myths but is unique.
Bad: A couple of the books had a different narrator who had a beautiful southern U.S. accent, which didn't suit the character's background, but at least she could do a cockney accent and a Scottish one. Most of the books were nattated by somebody who is offensively bad.
The character of Finn is just awful. He has no personality, is a stereotype, and says "properly" on repeat in the first two books. His character is made much worse by the terrible narration, and his accent doesn't match his coloquialisms.
One character is referred to as " Cat Tree Owner" by every character - for the record, nobody in England, Scotland, or Ireland would pronounce Catriona that way! Nor would an English man call a route a "rowt."
Every Scottish character was mentally disturbed. Again, this may have been the narrator's fault, but possibly not.
The story is good, but a couple of things were never explained, such as why nobody outside the Duropinan world wondered where cremated bodies went, or whether scouted grooms knew the truth.
The story was dragged out too long, and would have been better as six or seven books.

Having said all of this, I still feel that the book series is excellent, but the narrator is appalling
