SF Canada member Krista Wallace was recently interviewed by Neil Mach on his UK podcast Myth & Magic. This podcast is aimed at Fantasy writers and focuses on research into history, mythology, fable and folklore.
In episode 75 of Myth & Magic, Krista talks with Neil about her Gatekeeper series and the struggles related to it, as well as Krista’s own podcast, Totally Fantastic Title.
Krista also recently released the second book in this series, Gatekeeper’s Deception – Deceiver. Like the first in this series, Gatekeeper’s Deception was a finalist in the Colorado Gold Contest.
The Lady Alon Maer, wife of duke Kien Bartheylen, is pregnant and seriously ill. Swordfighter Kyer Halidan, along with her company of friends, takes on the mission to find a cure. If they fail, Alon and her baby will die.
An alluring stranger who calls himself The Guardian appears along the way and gives Kyer timely warnings, earning her trust, and hinting at her true identity. But is he helping her, or serving his own ends?
An uncanny escape, a gift from a dead warrior, a shocking message for Kyer’s ears only, all sow suspicions among her friends that she is not who she claims to be. Even as their faith in her is tainted, her nemesis plots his vengeance: exposing unassailable evidence that it is Kyer who is attempting to murder Alon Maer.
