Elai Nelson and the Gate of Fire

The final chapter in the adventures of Elai Nelson. He's come a long way from the day his toothbrush started to talk to him and he watched his family get murdered in front of him. Having journeyed through a rift to arrive in the land of Marenden, he has survived a perilous path that led from the Northlands and the Dunelands to finally end in the Stormlands, where he has returned to take his place on the throne of Karelah. However, the portal to the Zul'im remains open, and enemies continue to pour through. He now faces his greatest dilemma ever - march with the remnants of a broken army to force an entry into an ancient castle to close the door, risking leaving his kingdom open to attack, or take time to rebuild his troops and allow the enemy to regain its own strength and return as a new menace. Whichever path he takes, he faces opposition and danger, both from within his own realm, and outside. With only his courage, his enchanted talking sword, and his Earth-honed wits to aid him, Elai must fight for love, for his kingdom, and for his very survival.
