(Dec 18, 1999)A gripping Fantasy Debut from a promising new author. You will get that impression when you read this
novel which is a brilliant combination of Robert Jordan and Stephen King. Travis WIlder-a barkeeper
and Grace Beckett-a young doctor are taken from our world into the world of Eldh.This medieval-style
world is menaced by sinister minions of a ancient evil called the Pale King who had tried to conquer
this world centuries and is held in eternal prison called runegate. These two people
with the help of Eldh friends must navigate the often deadly waters of politics in this strange
world and must convince the Council of Kings of the terrifying threat to their world. Travis, himself
must try to understand his ability to wield magical runemagic and Grace finds herself embroiled in
court intrigue. This novel has scenes of chilling dark magic,peril and it is dripping with atmosphere
and plot twist to spare. You won't forget Travis or Grace and the world of Eldh.
