#376 - Ebony Gate by Julia Vee & Ken Bebelle
On this episode, we discuss our October 2026 Book Club Pick Ebony Gate by Julia Vee & Ken Bebelle, chosen for us by our Honey Boba patrons. The first book of the Phoenix Hoard trilogy, Ebony Gate follows Emiko Soong, a former assassin/enforcer for her mystical clan, trying to live a quiet life of self exile/retirement after a particularly bloody mission. Unfortunately, she gets dragged back into the game when a god of death calls in a family debt, and is forced back into the spiritual underworld of San Francisco's Chinatown on a quest to retrieve a missing gate to hell.
