When Lynn Roman and Kate Mossland fought their way back through the gordath, a portal between our worlds and medieval like society entrenched in war called Aeritan, they believed they had left it behind them. Lynn leaving the two men she loved on the other side; Crae, the Aeritan solider who helped her escape and Joe her human lover who chose to stay behind as a guardian of the gordath. Kate had brought back the injured Colar who helped her escape and who would have died if she left him in a world with inadequate medieval medical treatment.

Now the Aeritan General who held Kate has found his own way through the gordath. He is driven by a maniacal need to possess the sixteen year old Kate, and will stop at nothing to capture her and take her back to Aeritan with him.

Meanwhile, in Aeritan, an uprising is occurring that will change the face of Aeritan. As Crae is trying to adjust to his new position as Lord of the house of Trieve and husband to its Lady, Jessamy, an attack on his lands and visit of a brother-in-law set in motion a spiral of events meant to change his destiny. Meanwhile, Joe has been captured to be used to open a gordath that could destroy both worlds. Lynn and Kate both look to be destined to return to Aeritan, but at what costs, and will they be able to return home again?

The RED GOLD BRIDGE by Patrice Sarath is written as the conclusion to GORDATH WOOD. It ties up the story very nicely, the multiple point of views work well with each other, and has a piercing plot. Although I recommend reading the first book, GORDATH WOOD, to fully enjoy this novel, RED GOLD BRIDGE is a suspenseful fantasy you don't want to miss.
