The Traveler’s Gate Trilogy is a series of fantasy novels by Will Wight. The series follows the journey of a young man named Simon as he tries to find the titular Traveler’s Gate. Along the way, Simon must face many dangers and overcome many challenges, all while trying to keep the people he loves safe.
Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he’ll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord. It may not be his destiny, but Simon’s determined to rescue his fellow villagers from certain death.
Because who cares about prophecy, really?

To top it off, another young man from Simon’s village discovers that he’s a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he’ll survive.
