About this ebook
Sovereign of Thresholds candidate located.
Axiom Vor has awakened.
Across Aevaryn, ancient infrastructure is restoring itself after thousands of years of silence.
Hospitals function again.
Water systems purify entire cities.
Monster attacks decline.
Roads repair themselves.
For millions of people, the return of the old network looks like salvation.
Then the restrictions begin.
Travel requires permission.
Dangerous classes are suppressed.
Communities judged unstable lose access to roads.
Citizens classified as threats discover that invisible boundaries have become walls.
Axiom Vor does not believe it is conquering Aevaryn.
It believes it is saving it.
And frighteningly, some people agree.
Orivane Bastion Nine becomes divided between residents who would rather accept perfect security and those willing to risk freedom.
Kingdoms fracture.
Former enemies become reluctant allies.
Armies lose access to the systems they once depended upon.
Physical roads must be rebuilt where the network refuses passage.
At the center of everything stands Caelen.
The ordinary maintenance worker who arrived on Aevaryn with no class and no idea how to survive now possesses the one authority Axiom Vor still needs.
The final evolution of his class:
[SOVEREIGN OF THRESHOLDS]
Accepting it may give Caelen enough control to challenge the intelligence governing the Orivane Array.
It may also turn him into exactly what everyone fears.
Then Axiom Vor offers him something no enemy could have used against him.
Earth.
The network still remembers the way home.
Caelen can see Manchester again.
He can return to the sister he left behind.
All he has to do is surrender control of the network to an intelligence that promises to end war, hunger and chaos forever.
The price is choice itself.
As the final battle converges on Orivane Bastion Nine, every relationship, covenant, road, repair and decision Caelen has made since arriving on Aevaryn becomes part of the answer.
Because the greatest power of a Threshold Warden was never controlling the road.
It was deciding who gets to choose where it leads.
The Gate Beyond Origin is the climactic third volume of The Orivane Threshold, bringing together LitRPG progression, civilisation-scale science fiction, epic fantasy, artificial intelligence, portal worlds, found family, war and the final truth behind the Orivane Array.
