Sixteen years before the tale of the Gyrath's Gate begins,
a girl was born on the evening between two years. She was
the child of uncertain parentage, the daughter of the world
orphaned at birth and left alone, unloved and uncared for.
This young girl grew up tough on the streets, with no family
and no one but a string of orphanages and foster familes
across half the world that even knew she existed.
But
at the time around her sixteenth birthday, everything begins
to change. Young Scar had always known that she was somehow...
different from the other children. Faster, stronger, more
agile, more intelligent. What she didn't realise was that
other people were also aware of her abilities. People that
would do anything to control her.
Chapter
0 of the Gyrath's Gate Chronicles begins before the cataclysmic
events that follow Scar's discovery of the Gate itself.
It covers a short series of events that occur while she's
just a kid living on the streets in Wellington, New Zealand.
Accompanied by her closest friend in the world, Raven, Scar
begins a journey of self-discovery that could lead to the
end of the world as we know it one day. Will her sense of
independence overpower her longing to fit in? Will she stay
strong in the face of finally meeting her family? Only time
will tell, and time is a fickle mistress...

In her time of greatest need, the one person that
Scar can trust finally comes to the rescue. Still

they'd hoped to never have to learn: That a friend
is only an enemy who hasn't betrayed you yet.
