The Death Gate Cycle

Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

In a world sundered into four realms by ancient sorcerers, magic has become fragmented, with practitioners confined to their own domains. Yet, whispers of a forgotten unity persist, known only to a select few who have braved the perilous Death Gate. As the delicate balance of Arianus, the Realm of Sky, is threatened by political intrigue and impending magical upheaval, a prince becomes the target of his own father's assassination plot. Meanwhile, a dwarf's defiance could ignite a rebellion, and a dark wizard's ambition threatens to plunge not only Arianus but the very fabric of their fractured world into chaos.

Alfred has finally found a home among the sea-dwelling Sartan of Chelstra, but his past travels have taught him to remain vigilant, even among his own kind. His only true ally is Haplo, a Patryn, though Haplo is bound by his lord's decree to view all Sartan as enemies. As they navigate a land where humans, elves, and dwarves coexist peacefully, Alfred and Haplo uncover a far greater threat looming over all the realms. The ancient conflict between the Sartan and Patryn threatens to shatter this fragile peace, forcing Alfred and Haplo to confront a common, far more ancient, and powerful adversary.
