After the four worlds Alfred has at last found his people on Chelstra, the realm of sea. But his travels have taught him to be cautious... and Alfred soon realizes his caution is justified, even among his own kind. The one person Alfred can trust is, strangely, Haplo the Patryn. But Haplo's lord has decreed all Sartan to be the enemy, and Haplo dares not go against his lord. Now the companions have arrived in a land where humans, elves, and dwarves have learned to live in peace. Unaware of an even greater threat to all the realms, it is Sartan and Patryn who will disrupt this alliance of the lesser races in their struggle to gain control of all four worlds. Only Alfred and Haplo realize that they have a much older -- and more powerful -- enemy than each other...From the Paperback edition.

This is the only book in the 7-book series Death Gate cycle that I did not particular like. It just did not impress me as much as the other books. The fourth world is also a well-crafted and creative world, especially the dangers that live in it. The new character plots regarding the peoples that live in this world are less engaging compared to the earlier three worlds. But nevertheless, book 4 is no place to stop reading this series. Book 5 will start tying the threads together.
