I found Vol. 5 just outside Shakespeare & Company and was intrigued by it, only to find it was an old and niche series. But every review I found said it just got better and better and... it's so true! The Death Gate Cycle became one of my favourite fantasy series. It's filled with excitement and magic, with unique and uncanny worlds, profound and intriguing characters, and has one of the most "thinking outside of the box" vibes I've ever come across! "Impulsively he reached out his hand to touch the rock... but it didn't hurt him. It lost long ago the power to hurt... Just as it lost its power to help."
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.
