After three people disappear into the mysterious portals, Culann Penrose is called in to investigate. Discovering that the ancient system is crumbling, he orders they be shut down. The Druids, still seething at his denunciation of Magic twenty years ago, vehemently oppose Penrose’s inquiry.

Can Culann unravel the enigmatic mystery of the Gates in time for Science to save him, or will his Magic save the Science of the Gael Gates?
