Product Description

Product Description

This is an omnibus reprint of Diane Duane's first two titles in this series, The Door into Fire and The Door into Shadow. In The Door into Fire, Herewiss, Prince of the Brightwood, is the only man in centuries to possess the Power of the Flame, but he cannot control it. Even though he cannot control the Power of the Flame, he does have a talent for sorcery and with the help of Sunspark, a fire elemental, he is able to free his best friend Freelorn, the Prince of Arlen. Now Herewiss must make a choice. Does he go with his best friend to aide him in his fight to regain his kingdom or does he follow Sunspark to an ancient castle where there are 'doors' that lead to other worlds? Places that he can go to earn to use the Power of the Flame. Dare he walk through the door into fire? In The Door into Shadow, we are at a time that the royal magics are failing. The Reaver armies are massing and with them is the Shadow-destroyer off all that is good in the Goddess's creation. Between them and humanity stand a few brave souls-Herewiss, the first man in decades to have the Power of the Flame; Freelorn, the prince of Arlen; Sunspark, a fire elemental; Eftgan, the warrior queen of Darthen; and Segnbora, sorceress and swordwoman who speaks with the tongue of dragons. Can they overcome their own past and differences to unite in this fight, or do they fall prey to doubt and distrust which leads to the door into shadow?

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome reprint of old favourites, 25 July 2002
By Pauline (Blackburn, Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I nearly ordered this book, thinking that it was the long awaited sequel to the first three books in The Tales of the Five. However, I fortunately checked on the amazon.com website, (where there was some information about the contents of this book.) So if, like me, you were hoping to add to your collection - don't be fooled.

If you are new to these characters, then I would highly recommend this book, which is a reprint of the first two books of a series, published originally as "The Door into Fire" and "The Door into Shadow". The third book, "The Door into Sunset", may be reprinted in the future, otherwise it may be hard to get hold of. The fourth, and final, book of the series "The Door into Starlight" (promoted at the end of Book 3) has never been published (posssibly it has never been written!). So if you start reading this superb series, be warned - you will join a host of frustrated fans of the characters and their world, who have been waiting many years to find out how the author intended to complete her series!
