Dragon Wing: The Death Gate Cycle: Book 01

by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.

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.

Elven Star: The Death Gate Cycle: Book 02

by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.

On steamy Pryan, never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have created a jungle so vast that humans and elves dwell high in the trees and only dwarves live anywhere near the ground.

From the treetops, the aristocratic elves sell weapons to the other races, whose incessant warfare sends a steady stream of profits and essential resources skyward.

Now, generations of dissent and race hatred will not heal -- not even under the threat of annihilation at the hands of legendary Titans.

Armed with little more than their wits and prophecy, an elf, a human, and a dwarf must unite to try to save the world from destruction.

Here, too, what may well be the last remnants of the once-powerful Sartan still struggle to survive.

For Haplo and Alfred -- enemies by heritage, travelling companions by necessity -- Abarrach may reveal more than either dares to discover about the history of Sartan... and the future of all their descendants.

After the four worlds, Alfred has at last found his people on Chelstra, the realm of sea.

But his travels have taught him to be cautious... and Alfred soon realizes his caution is justified, even among his own kind. The one person Alfred can trust is, strangely, Haplo the Patryn. But Haplo's lord has decreed all Sartan to be the enemy, and Haplo dares not go against his lord.

Now the companions have arrived in a land where humans, elves, and dwarves have learned to live in peace. Unaware of an even greater threat to all the realms, it is Sartan and Patryn who will disrupt this alliance of the lesser races in their struggle to gain control of all four worlds.

Only Alfred and Haplo realize that they have a much older -- and more powerful --enemy than each other...

It is said that this gate grants whoever enters it the power to create worlds--or destroy them. Only Haplo knows its location--but he doesn't know he knows it. Now an ex-lover has been sent to betray Haplo and bring back his corpse.

Meanwhile, the assassin Hugh the Hand is also after Haplo, wielding the Accursed Blade. With his old companion Alfred, Haplo must seek sanctuary in the Labyrinth--a deadly prison maze whose inhabitants are condemned to death.

Millennia ago a battle raged between the Sartan and the Patryn, and the Sartan sundered the world into four realms--air, fire, stone, and water--and then vanished. But now the two races have rediscovered each other through the magic of the Death Gate--and war is about to erupt anew.
