Antiquity's Gate R F Hurteau

For fans of The City of Ember, The Lunar Chronicles, and The Hunger Games, an epic sci-fi adventure awaits!



Antiquity's Gate forced two realities to collide--what followed tore one of them apart.

Now those who remain coexist beneath the shelter of a domed Antarctic city, held together by a tenuous peace and an increasingly dystopian hierarchy. Any hope of one day leaving the confines of Sanctuary is little more than a fading ember.

A mid-level systems operator, Ripley does his best to stay out of trouble. His best friend Felix, an irreverent half-breed shunned by society, can't seem to do the same. When Felix's family is targeted by an unjust law, there's nowhere to run. The city of Sanctuary had once been a safe haven--now it has become a cage.

Ripley's desperate attempt to help his friends escape tragedy uncovers a conspiracy that envelops the last refuge of mankind in an ever-tightening net.

The people of Sanctuary have never seen a sunrise.

If Ripley and Felix aren't prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, none of them ever will.

The first book in the sweeping Antiquity's Gate series, Three Days Till Dawn explores the depths of friendship and betrayal in a city teetering on the edge of two worlds. With delicately interwoven threads, this slow burning mystery explores a post-apocalyptic future through the eyes of many--none of whom have all the answers.
