The Life and Times of Alexander Gates

About the Book

I'm writing this down in an attempt to make sense of the events that have unfolded. If you are reading this, it is possible you could be at risk. When my grandfather passed away, he left me the house my brother and I were raised in. I thought growing up I had learned every secret of the house, yet I am finding now, I knew very little about my grandfather and a world I never knew existed. If you take this journey with me, I must stress extreme caution. There are those who would stop at nothing to silence me. There from the core of our society. These silencers are on both sides of my gates. The information I am writing is a deep secret we all know. Yet is kept in the recesses of our mind. To keep you blinded to the truth that magic is all around you.
