Orson Scott Card

The Gate Thief Orson Scott Card

Here on Earth, Danny North is still in high school, yet he holds in his heart and mind all the stolen outselves of thirteen centuries of gatemages. The Families still want to kill him if they cant control him—and they cant; he is far too powerful. On Westil, Wad is nearly powerless—he lost everything to Danny in their struggle. Even if he can survive the revenge of his enemies, he must still somehow make peace with the Gatemage Daniel North, for when Danny took that power from Loki, he also took responsibility for the Great Gates. And when he meets the mages Bel and Ishtoreth, he will understand why Loki closed the gates all those centuries ago.
