Morgaine

The White Queen • Warrior • Legend

Known throughout Arth as the White Queen — and to her enemies as the White Witch — Morgaine is an ancient warrior whose life has become inseparable from the battle against the Dark.

Brilliant, fiercely independent, and nearly impossible to intimidate, she carries the weight of centuries of war, loss, and responsibility.

Beneath the commander and the legend is a woman who has endured more than most could imagine — and whose story may shape the fate of more than one world.

On Earth, Nathan Arvad has no idea just how
extraordinary his past really is.

Nathan Arvad

The Lost One • Scientist • Warrior

Nathan Arvad is living an ordinary life in New York when an ancient artifact changes everything.

Pulled through the D’Arc Gate and stranded on the distant world of Arth, he finds himself surrounded by kingdoms, Dark Men, forgotten technology, and secrets stretching back thousands of years.

As Nathan fights to survive, he begins uncovering a far greater mystery — who he really is, where he came from, and why the Gate responded to him at all.

On Arth, Nathan discovers a world—and a destiny—he never knew existed.

JENN

Friend • Adventurer • Heart

Warm, curious, and far braver than she initially realizes, Jenn is part of Nathan and Gary’s close-knit New York circle. Sweet, funny, and fiercely loyal, she keeps many of her deeper feelings to herself. When Nathan disappears, Jenn refuses to simply stand by and becomes part of the growing mystery surrounding the D’Arc Gate.

GARY ROSSI

Best Friend • Hacker • Risk-Taker

Nathan’s former college roommate and closest friend, Gary is smart, resourceful, technically gifted, and never afraid to bend a few rules. His hacking skills and ability to improvise make him an unlikely but invaluable ally when Nathan vanishes and the mystery of the D’Arc Gate begins to unfold.

DR. ELEANOR “ELLIE” COOPER

Scientist • Skeptic • Explorer

Brilliant, analytical, and determined to understand the impossible, Ellie becomes one of the first people on Earth to truly investigate the ancient monolith connected to the D’Arc Gate. As a scientist and Nathan’s former girlfriend, her search for answers quickly becomes personal — and forces her to confront discoveries that challenge everything she thought she knew.

TREYBORNE

Captain • Warrior • Loyalist

Treyborne is Morgaine’s trusted captain and one of her most dependable allies. Experienced, capable, and fiercely loyal, he brings both battlefield skill and a grounded sense of humor to a world growing more dangerous by the day.

BRIANNA

Farmer • Survivor • Leader

A widowed farm woman from the Hinterlands, Brianna is drawn into Morgaine’s world by tragedy. What begins as a fight for survival gradually reveals a woman of courage, resilience, and a growing ability to lead.

MAITAN

Healer • Advisor • Last of the Biaki Mor

Maitan has served beside Morgaine for generations as healer, advisor, and trusted confidant. As the last of the Biaki Mor, he possesses a unique presence and a rare perspective. Wise, loyal, and steady, he is an invaluable guardian in a world filled with danger and change.

ASHARRA

Warrior • First Mate • Lightbearer

Asharra rose unusually high within the Dark Raiders’ warrior class, earning the respect of even their strongest fighters. After Maitan’s victory over Emorion, she becomes his First Mate and embraces the Way of the Biaki Mor, leaving the Dark behind to follow what she believes is the Light of the Creator.

SMYSLIN

Engineer • Former Dark Man • Loyal

Brilliant, curious, and deeply conditioned by the world of the Dark, Smyslin begins as an engineer in service to Jezerah. His unexpected journey with Nathan changes him physically and spiritually, until even the Dark itself no longer seems to recognize him as one of its own. Loyal almost to a fault, he becomes one of Nathan’s strangest — and most devoted — allies.

JASPER

Bounty Hunter • Commander • Ally

A skilled bounty hunter from Nelrae, Jasper first enters Morgaine’s orbit as a threat — but proves far harder to categorize. Sharp, observant, and highly capable, he ultimately chooses to stand with Morgaine’s people, bringing both experience and a willingness to face almost impossible odds.

EMORION

Dark Lord • Schemer • Usurper

Ambitious and calculating, Emorion believes power is his birthright. His rivalry with the other Dark Lords runs nearly as deep as his hatred of Morgaine, and as the Triumvirate fractures, he becomes increasingly determined to prove that he alone deserves to rule.

JEZERAH

Dark High Lord • Morgaine’s Brother

The most powerful of the three surviving Dark Lords, Jezerah helped shape the Triumvirate that has dominated Arth for centuries. Cunning, ruthless, and deeply connected to the mysterious Void, he sees himself as the natural leader of the Dark — and Morgaine as both family and mortal enemy.

K’THUL

Dark Lord General• Master Strategist

A towering military force within the Triumvirate, Emperor K’Thul commands the armies of the Eastern Empire and prefers conquest to subtlety. Proud, relentless, and convinced of his own strategic superiority, he is every bit as dangerous to his fellow Dark Lords as he is to those who oppose the Dark.

The Epic Saga Continues

The battle between light and darkness is far from over.

As the D’Arc Gate Universe expands, new allies, new enemies, and new worlds will emerge—along with characters whose choices may change everything.

What was originally planned as Book 2 has grown into a much larger story (David is currently at almost 1,000 pages again). Just as the original first book was ultimately divided into Books 1 and 2, the next part of the adventure will now be released as Books 3 and 4, allowing the story the space it deserves, and an easier book to carry for our readers.

Book 3 is anticipated for Spring 2027, with Book 4 soon to follow.

And there are still many characters you haven’t met yet…

The gate is open.
The battle continues.
And the light has not finished fighting.
