Heresiss s'Hearn, the first man in a thousand years to channel fire, had thought that the successful end of the war, Freelorn safely on his throne as King of Arlen, and the two of them married to each other and their three other spouses, would mean peace, progress, and happily-ever-after.
Silly Herewiss.
Instead, the world is trying to settle back into its old, familiar ways, and Herewiss has an urgent, indeed deadly problem to confront. That problem has him in the city of Darthis, alone, in a tavern called the Stuck Pig, where the bouncer has noticed something odd and disturbing about him, and is wondering if she needs to toss him out immediately, before disaster strikes.
This is the first of five shorter tales in the world of the "Door into..." series, set between book three, The Door into Sunset, and the forthcoming book four, The Door into Starlight. It's very good, true to the series, and thoroughly enjoyable.
Recommended.
I bought this book.
