From an exciting new master of fantasy comes the second novel of an epic tale filled with dangerous magic, dark mystery, and unrelenting suspense

The Keep Of Fire

Travis Wilder has returned from the otherworld of Eldh, hoping to settle back into his humdrum life in the mountains of contemporary Colorado. But he soon finds himself stalked by two shadowy organizations, each aware of his incredible journey and each determined to exploit it--whatever the cost to Travis...or to Eldh. Meanwhile, a terrifying new contagion is spreading like wildfire, a disease with no cure, which some are comparing to the Black Plague.

When the disease strikes his closest friend, Travis is drawn back to Eldh, where the same epidemic, known as the Burning Plague, is wreaking another kind of havoc. There, in a realm of gods and monsters, myths and runecraft, Travis and his former companion Grace Beckett--herself from Earth, but now living on Eldh--must solve the riddle of...

The Last Rune 6: The First Stone

Thu, 25 Nov 2004 10:03:37 +0200

The Pale King has been defeated, his legions decimated. The Dark God Mohg has been destroyed. And the evil corporation, Duratek, has been disbanded, foiled in its efforts to strip-mine the world of Eldh. And for our heroes, three years have passed in relative peace. But only relative, because every one of them know in their hearts that their duties are not yet ended. For perihelion approaches, as the two worlds continue to grow nearer. And bad things are coming in its wake.

In the skies over Earth, astronomers have noted an anomaly which seems to be swallowing stars whole. On Eldh, these rifts in the sky are appearing as well--and the dragon Sinfathisar tells Grace Beckett that, if left unchecked, these holes of anti-being will annihilate all of creation forever. He adds that only Travis Wilder--whom the Mournish believe is fated to raise the lost city of Morindu the Dark from the desert sands that hide and hold it--can save the world. But what is the connection between the lost city of the sorcerers and the wounds that rift the heavens? As Grace goes in search of Travis and Travis goes in search of his kidnapped daughter, all the threads of fate begin to pull together, revealing ancient mysteries on both worlds, and connections within connections that carry all the way back through time. With both worlds increasingly wracked by tempests and earthquakes and a palpable sense of hopelessness and despair, and with magic sputtering and dying around them, can our heroes patch together the missing pieces of the puzzle before all of life is annihilated?

From Library Journal

Cross-world Travis Wilder, known on the world of Eldh as the Runebreaker, finds himself trapped on 1880s Earth, a century before his own time. In present-day Eldh, his fellow traveler Grace Beckett makes a journey to an icy land where she learns of her destiny as the adversary of the Pale King, whose power would destroy both Eldh and Earth. Anthony's epic tale of a war in two worlds features a pair of strong, reliable protagonists as well as a supporting cast of complex and varied individuals with compelling stories of their own. A good choice for most fantasy collections.

From

The next-to-last volume of the Last Rune saga continues to combine the realm of Faerie with time travel in the mundane world. Travis Wilder and three Faerie companions are stranded in an 1880s Colorado mining town. Meanwhile, Grace Beckett, the Earth-raised woman who in Faerie is the powerful Blademender, discovers that her destiny is to face the Pale King. To do this, she must unite forces with Travis, after, of course, rescuing him from mundane Victorian Colorado! Should she fail, both Earth and Faerie Eldh are doomed. The suspensefulness of her rescue effort will keep readers turning pages despite relatively slow pacing overall. Even readers familiar with the saga will find the magic sequences this time more conventional than before, and since so much backstory is lacking here, saga newcomers will have to retreat to the earlier installments or tolerate a certain fuzziness of apprehension.
