Dragon Wing

The Death Gate Cycle, Volume 1

By: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrated by: Fajer Al-Kaisi

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.

Takes me back to my teens.

Read this series when it came out and am loving revisiting it. The narration is great too.

Can't wait to finish it all!

was looking for a new book series, and I've definitely found it. I can't wait to finish the next book and see where this whole thing is going to go it's such a great Series so far

A look into a world split apart

A wonderful look into a realm with fresh characters and of the most powerful magic of the infinite becoming finite.

Just as good as the original cassette, but more

This was, bar none, my favorite book series growing up, and still is for that matter. I have never finished it, however, due to the fact I don't enjoy reading that much and only the first 3 books were ever recorded on audio cassette, abridged as well. To my great joy and suprise, not only did audible release the entire first book unabridged, but the entire series for me to finally finish. The performance is excellent, though it does leave me nostalgic for the music and sound effects accompanying the cassette versions. That isn't a negative, just a personal bias. I cannot wait to start the second installment and enjoy more of my favorite characters. Cannot reccoment this series enough.

Superb

Five fleshed out and great worlds, fantastic characters. One of my all time favorite series.
