The first volume in Guy Gavriel Kay's stunning fantasy masterwork. Five men and women find themselves flung into the magical land of Fionavar, First of all Worlds. They have been called there by the mage Loren Silvercloak, and quickly find themselves drawn into the complex tapestry of events. For Kim, Paul, Kevin, Jennifer and Dave all have their own part to play in the coming battle against the forces of evil led by the fallen god Rakoth Maugrim and his dark hordes. Guy Gavriel Kay's classic epic fantasy plays out on a truly grand scale, and has already been delighting fans of imaginative fiction for twenty years.

In the first part of 'Seven Citadels', Prince Kerish, pampered favorite son of the Emperor of Galkis, and his half-brother Forollkin, are sent to find seven sorcerers who each hold the key to a gate. Legend says that that the seven gates imprison a Savior, who alone can save the embattled Galkian Empire and its Godborn rulers. In the dangerous world beyond Galkis, Kerish is forced to depend on his soldier brother. The prince soon discovers something that will make their quest much more difficult—if a sorcerer surrenders his key, he also gives up immortality. When the first sorcerer turns out to be a benevolent philosopher king, the brothers begin to question whether the cost of saving Galkis is too high.
