Rathna has a gift for doorways.
When a portal in the Scottish Highlands stops working, she is one of the only Portal Keepers able to travel to investigate. On the other hand, the location presents some challenges. As a London-born Bengali woman, she’s nothing like the villagers.
And of course, there’s the worrying question: why did this portal stop working? It shouldn’t have done that.
Gabe was born to fling himself at a challenge.
Gabe was born into an aristocratic family, and he’s used to everything coming easily. Everything, that is, but recovery from a life-changing injury in 1918. Fortunately, he’s recently finished training as one of Albion’s investigators, and he can throw himself entirely into his work.

Perhaps there are too many problems. Rathna is prickly, giving him little to work with. There are threatening noises from the mountaintop nearby. Rathna is even more distant when she gets news from home of a mysterious man asking about her.
Somehow they must learn to work together, understand the local needs, and repair the portal, all while avoiding the wrath of the legendary beithir.
