Publisher Description
Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .
In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince—by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people—and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus—a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.
Customer Reviews
Dragon Wing is a great lead into an amazing series
While I only rate Dragon Wing a 4star book by itself, the Death GateCycle as a whole deserves a rating of 6 out of 5 stars. One of the greatest Fantasy series I have ever read with wonderful characters that you truly become invested in as the series progresses. Very character driven series with a really interesting twist on magic, this is a series that anyone who is tired of the "hack and slash" style of contemporary fantasy will thoroughly enjoy.
Read Dragon Wing and Elven Star and you won't stop until you've finished The Seventh Gate. Promise.
Just be sure to leave your logic and physics caps at home because there are some seriously glaring physics problems with the overall concept of "the Sundering"
