Death Gate Cycle
An assassin and the royal child he has been hired to kill form an
unlikely and unstable alliance as the plots of human sorcerers, elven
pirates, and dwarf revolutionaries threaten to overwhelm the airborne
kingdoms of Arianus. Long-time collaborators Weis and Hickman (“The
Darksword” trilogy; “The Rose of the Prophet” trilogy) have embarked on
their most ambitious project to date in this first of a projected
seven-volume cycle. The authors’ combined talents for innovative
world-building and sympathetic characterizations find ample outlet in
this epic fantasy. "Margaret and I have always tried to take fantasy literature in new
directions. Krynn is a world wholly distinct from Earth, unlike
Tolkien's Middle-earth.
Time travel itself was a science-fiction notion we applied to fantasy.
We have even written fantasies taking place in the far future (The Death
Gate Cycle)!"
