About this ebook
Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .
In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince—by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people—and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus—a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.

These stories have a lot of deeper meanings in them. Full of symbolism and a fine tale between the battle of good and evil as well as the struggle man has with himself and the truth. There is a certain amount of silliness from some of the sub characters but the main characters are excellent and deep. Some of the most well done background story of any story ever done.

I love how the author puts her mind into this book and forms the characters into people you can relate to. This book was cleverly made and I have read this book at least five times at least. This is a five star, and if I happen to stumble upon one of the sequels, there is no doubt about it, I will definitely pick up the book and enjoy every last word of this beautifully made fantasy. I hope readers around the globe feel the same way when they read this book. :) :)

I felt this was the turning point of the collaboration between Margaret and Tracy. It would be difficult if not impossible to top the first two Dragonlance trilogies. The magic is gone.
