Well of Shiuan
The world of Shiuan was doomed. Rising waters and shattering earthquakes due to the coming of a vast and strange new sattelite 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 Irvel" and of her henchman, Nhi
Vanye, and of their relentless enemy, Chya Roh, who followed them to
the drowning planet.
