Gates of Sleep
Gates of Sleep third book in the The Elemental Masters series.
Retelling of Sleeping Beauty, set in Devon, England around 1912. Set in same universe as Fire Rose and Serpent's Shadow.
For seventeen years, Marina Roeswood had lived in the care
of close friends of her wealthy, aristocratic parents. As the
ward of bohemian artists in turn-of-the-century England, she
had grown to be a free thinker in an environment of fertile
creativity and cultural sophistication. But the real core of her
education was far outside societal norms. For she and her
foster parents were Elemental Masters of magic, and learning
to control her growing powers was Marina's primary focus.
But though Marina's life seemed idyllic, her existence was
riddled with mysteries. Why had she never seen her parents,
or been to Oakhurst, her family's ancestral manor? And why
hadn't her real parents trained her themselves? Marina could
get no clues out of her guardians. But with the sudden death
of her birth parents, Marina met her new guardian—her
father's eldest sister Arachne. Aunt Arachne exuded a dark
magical aura unlike anything Marina had encountered, a
stifling evil that seemed to threaten Marina's very spirit.
Slowly Marina realized that her aunt was the embodiment of
the danger her parents had been hiding her from in the
depths of the country. But could Marina unravel the secrets
of her life in time to save herself?
