GATE OF
IVREL

Scattered about the galaxy were the time-space Gates of a vanished but not forgotten alien race. In their time, long before the rise of the native civilizations, they had terrorized a hundred worlds - not from villainy but from folly, from tampering with the strands that held a universe together.

Now the task was to uproot these Gates, destroy their potency for mischief, take horror out of the hands of the few who hungered for power by misuse of the Gates.

This is the story of one such Gate and one such world.  It is a novel which introduces a new literary star of the magnitude of Tolkien and Merrill.  Andre Norton makes this claim in a special introduction saying that C.J. Cherryh "has drawn an entirely believable hero on an alien and enchanting world, working in bits of customs, beliefs, and history so cleverly that is must certainly exist - somewhere...  Reading GATE OF IVREL was an exciting experience for me...."

So it will be for everyone.

The world of Shiuan was doomed. Rising waters and shattering earthquakes due to the coming of a vast and strange new satellite had sealed the fate of its peoples - flee or die with their world.
Their sole escape routes were the Gates, the passages between worlds established by a forgotten cosmic race. And just as this knowledge dawned on the desperate tribes and cities there appeared the woman Morgaine - whose mission was to seal Shiuan's Gates.

This is the story of Morgaine, she of Gate of Ivrel, and of her henchman, Nhi Vanye, and of their relentless enemy, Chya Roh, who followed them to the drowning planet.

This is a novel of science fictin and fantasy, told in all the marvelous color and depth which won for its author, C.J. Cherryh, the coveted John W. Campbell Award, voted by readers and fans for the best new writer of the year.

Morgaine, the closer of world gates, and her henchman Vanye, came to the land called Azeroth from drowned Shiuan.  There was a star gate in Azeroth marked by alien fires and this, too, Morgaine must seal.

But they brought to the peaceful land devastation and terror.  For the hordes of Shiuan were hot on their heels determined to conquer new lands for themselves and to avenge their lost planet upon the legendary White Queen, who was Morgaine.

In Azeroth, though, there was a new factor besides mankind.  In that third planet the pre-human qhal still reigned.  And the qhal were beyond and above human science.

FIRE OF AZEROTH is the grand climax to of the Morgaine trilogy - a novel complete in itself that tells of the Armageddon of the people of three planets.

THE WHITE QUEEN

Here, after ten years, is the long awaited new novel about one of C.J. Cherryh's most famous and popular heroines.  Morgaine, closer of the world Gates!  Morgaine, who with her magical sword Changeling and her loyal leigeman Vanye, travels fro world to world, seeking out the Gates, deadly heritage of a long-vanished race, which could forever warp past, present. and future unless they are shut down.  Now, on a world torn by rebellion and war, Morgaine must meet her greatest challenge.  For here she will face Gault, who is both human and alien and who seeks control of the world and its Gate.  And here too Morgraine will face the true Gatemaster, a mysterious lord with a power as great - or perhaps greater than Morgaine's own!
