Here, after ten years, is the long awaited new novel about one of C.J. Cherrhy's most famous and popular heroines, Morgaine, closer of the world gates.

Morgaine, who with her magical sword Changeling and her loyal liegeman Vanye, travels from world to world, seeking out the Gates, deadly heritage of a long-vanished race, which could forever warp the past, present and future unless they are shutdown.

Now, on a world torn by rebellion and war, Morgaine must meet her greatest challenge. For here she will face Gault, who is both human and alien and who seeks control of the world and its Gate. And here too Morgaine will face the true Gatemaster, a mysterious lord with a power as great - or perhaps greater - than Morgaines own!
