The Families still want to kill him if they can't control him…and they can't control him. He is far too powerful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd on Westil, Wad is now nearly powerless—he lost everything to Danny in their struggle. Even if he can survive the revenge of his enemies, he still must somehow make peace with the Gatemage Daniel North.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor when Danny took that power from Loki, he also took the responsibility for the Great Gates.

One of the system's charms is that it explains such a lot: what ghosts are (the fading \"outselves\" that mages can project), what fairies are (playful creations that mages make from trash, plants and petals), and why all Indo-European gods have such strong family resemblances. The hints of real history behind the families are especially enticing: I look forward to learning more.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Gate\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780765365392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Tor Fantasy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40642141618382,"sku":"9780765365392","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_e81c9752-9891-4774-b96e-c08cf2e9e824.jpg?v=1639100875","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780765365392","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
