Order of Death Gate Books

The Death Gate Cycle stands as an epic seven-book fantasy saga crafted by the acclaimed duo Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. At its heart lies an ancient conflict between two powerful races—the Sartan and the Patryns—both descended from humanity in the aftermath of a catastrophic nuclear/anti-matter apocalypse.

This sweeping series launched in 1990 with Dragon Wing and reached its climactic finale with The Seventh Gate across seven volumes. The novels follow their original publication sequence, which mirrors their chronological storyline. The Death Gate universe proved so compelling that Legend Entertainment transformed it into a computer game adaptation.
