The Gateway through which they came

the long version

To seventeen-year-old Aiden Ortiz, letting the dead walk through his body to reach the other side comes with the territory. Being a Gateway isn't an easy job, but someone's gotta send Bleeders where they belong. Heaven. Salvation. Call it whatever you want. Dead is dead. But when his search for Koren Banks - the girl who went mysteriously missing seven months ago - leaves him with more questions that answers, he finds himself involved in something far more sinister and beyond his control. With the threat of the Dark Priest's resurrection, and his plan to summon his demon brothers from hell, Aiden is left to discover his identity before the Dark Priest's curse infecting his blood consumes him, and beofre the world as he knows it succumbs to the darkness of hell on earth.
