Gordon Lundtigan,

my companions in
spiritual, moral, and philosophical searches
and my exemplars in shepherdry
On a certain day in November, in the early afternoon, if you had just parked your car at Kenny's burger place in Buena Vista, Virginia, or maybe you were alking into Nick's Italian Kitchen, or Todd's Barbecue, you might have cast your gaze up the hill toward Parry McCluer High School.

I am the Gate Thief, and because of your nobility, the victory is mine.

"With a little flavor of Roger Zelazny's Amber books, and a taste of Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain, Card has delivered a science fantasy series that manages to anchor itself both in the quotidian and the marvelous, at once darkly ancient and brightly modern."
- Locus magazine

FOR DANNY NORTH, being the most powerfu mage on Earth or Westil doesn't make high school any easier.  His impulsive miracles only make it harder to hide from the Families who want to either control him or kill him.  He knows that they will use his friends against him.

Danny is beginning to suspect he made a terrible mistake when he wove his Great Gate using the captured power of long-dead gatemages.  He hopes it won't be a fatal mistake.

"Card is a formidable storyteller with many strengths, particularly that of making the reader like and identify with his protagonists."
- The Miami Herald

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
