The Families still want to kill him if they can't control him...and they can't control him. He is far too powerful. <p/>And on Westil, Wad is now nearly powerless--he lost everything to Danny in their struggle. Even if he can survive the revenge of his enemies, he still must somehow make peace with the Gatemage Daniel North. <p/>For when Danny took that power from Loki, he also took the responsibility for the Great Gates. And when he comes face-to-face with the mages who call themselves Bel and Ishtoreth, he will come to understand just why Loki closed the gates all those centuries ago. <p/>The Mithermages series<br><i>The Lost Gate<br>The Gate Thief<br>Gatefather</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Mr. Card is giving a kind of tour of fantasy possibilities while integrating them into his intricately imagined system of magic. One of the system's charms is that it explains such a lot: what ghosts are (the fading outselves that mages can project), what fairies are (playful creations that mages make from trash, plants and petals), and why all Indo-European gods have such strong family resemblances. The hints of real history behind the families are especially enticing: I look forward to learning more." --<i>The Wall Street Journal </i>on <i>The Lost Gate</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>ORSON SCOTT CARD is the author of the international bestsellers <i>Shadow of the Giant</i>, <i>Shadow Puppets</i>, <i>Shadow of the Hegemon</i>, and <i>Ender's Shadow</i>, and of the beloved classic of science fiction, <i>Ender's Game</i>, as well as the acclaimed fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker.
