When strange wolf-like creatures kidnap his girlfriend and his mother,
Torrie and his friend Ian Silverstein join Torrie's father, Thorsen, and
the mysterious "Uncle Hosea" on a rescue mission via a passageway to the
exotic world from which Hosea and Thorsen had fled two decades earlier.
Once entering the world of The Hidden Ways, they must battle gods,
monsters and men, including the sinister Fire Duke, who seeks ultimate
power and control of magical gems that can destroy the universe.
Intrigue, swordplay and courage all loom large in this first novel of
The Keeper of the Hidden Ways trilogy by bestselling author Joel
Rosenberg, called by Mike Resnick "a major star in the fantasy
firmament."
